Teaching and Learning in the Secondary School (Open University Postgraduate Certificate of Education)

I found this book to be very informative, the contrasts betwwen BEd and PGCE students did mean that I could focus my attentions to the areas where, statisically, I would be weak. I also found that this was a book where I could dip into, to find a particular topic that was pertinent to my areas of development. However I did find that there other books that were easier to read and less 'wordy' for instance - "Learning to Teach - Gill Nicholls"

This is a another must (have) if you are going into teaching at secondary level as the title suggests. Studied this as at PGDE and it was obviously on the reading list. Gives various accounts of schooling and methods and is actually a fairly easy read.
