Learning to Teach in a New Era
Allen, Jeanne, Ed.; White, Simone, Ed.
Cambridge University Press
"Learning to Teach in a New Era" prepares preservice teachers to embrace the opportunities and meet the challenges of teaching in the twenty-first century. Closely aligned with the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST) and the Australian Curriculum, this book is an invaluable resource for early childhood, primary and secondary preservice teachers that can be carried through their entire degree and into the workplace. The text is divided into three parts: professional knowledge, professional practice, and professional engagement. Students will gain an understanding of the teaching profession and the policies and laws that govern it; develop practical skills in pedagogy, technology, curriculum, assessment and reporting, planning and classroom management; and learn vital skills in communication and ethical practice. Each printed text comes with a unique access code to the interactive ebook. Fully integrated with the print book, this enhanced version houses useful assessment tools such as questions and video resources. This book links closely to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST) and the Australian Curriculum to prepare preservice teachers for the frameworks that will shape their teaching careers and provides a comprehensive introduction to key content explored in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching qualifications. Access to the complementary interactive ebook is provided inside the front cover of the printed book, unlocking a generous pool of self-assessment tools such as questions and video resources. This book contains four parts and eleven chapters. Part I, Introduction, contains: (1) Teaching in the twenty-first century (Jeanne Allen and Simone White). Part II, Professional knowledge, contains: (2) Understanding the education landscape: policy, practice and context (Simone White); (3) Effective pedagogy for student learning (Anne Coffey); and (4) Teaching with digital technologies (Amber McLeod, Kelly Carabott, and Catherine Lang).
