The IOE Library displays aim to showcase resources from a wide range of our collections, focusing on a specific theme each time. Our displays - which continue while the library's redevelopment takes place - include both print and electronic material and offer suggestions for further independent research.
All the resources displayed can be borrowed and we encourage users to actively engage with the work we're doing, by providing feedback, ideas and comments.
Many teachers do not feel confident in their role, particularly as they are increasingly expected to address topics with their pupils that they feel ill-equipped to deal with. This book is an essential guide, supporting teachers in navigating those tricky, taboo subjects that sit outside of the national curriculum and may not have been fully explored during their teacher training.
In an era of sky-high burnout, Educating with passion and purpose gives veteran educators everything they need to thrive in their profession. This book will help you avoid the disenchantment and frustration that can come from doing the difficult work of K-12 education.

Teaching in secondary schools requires a professional mindset and the confidence to face challenging situations. This practical and accessible book for all secondary initial teacher education trainees will help you to develop the knowledge and skills required to excel on your school placements. With case studies from qualified teachers who have been through it all ahead of you, you will be guided through key issues in training to be a teacher: planning and teaching lessons, working with your school mentor, understanding how pupils learn, and discovering how schools really work.
This essential and aspirational text is aimed at all beginning teachers whatever their training route, age phase and setting. It explicitly adopts and builds on a new metaphor for teachers' professional learning as interplay between the body of public knowledge and the practical wisdom of teachers within a particular school setting. It also accepts that 'telling' you how to teach is ineffective; you need to 'become a teacher' because it involves identity and practice.
To be truly educated today, students need more than knowledge; they need higher-order thinking skills. Critical and creative thinking is required to recognise and counter disinformation, to overcome thinking errors, and to be successful in school and life. To effectively teach these skills, we must start early, when young minds are still forming. In this comprehensive book based on sound science, Saifer offers many practical and engaging ways to develop students' logical, critical, and creative thinking skills within nearly every lesson, in all subject areas, and throughout the day.
In this insightful how-to guide, Corcoran explores strategies for teaching large groups of students across a diverse range of contexts. Chapters present innovative approaches to common challenges, delving into key questions such as how to cater to each individual's learning needs while avoiding burnout. Adopting a practical approach, Corcoran draws on his own experiences teaching Business and Management to help educators improve levels of student engagement, manage their workloads and enjoy large group education.
In British society, we celebrate diversity and champion equality across many areas, such as race and religion. However, where do British accents stand? Do notions such as 'common' or 'posh' still exist regarding certain accents, to the extent that people are deemed fit, or not, for certain professions, despite their qualifications? Baratta investigates the notion of linguistic power, in terms of which accents appear to be favoured within the context of teacher training and from the perspective of teachers who feel they lack power in the construction of their linguistic teacher identity.

New to this edition: more case studies and research summaries based on teaching in the primary school than ever before; new reflective activities and guidance on key readings at the end of each chapter; updates to reflect recent changes in curriculum and assessment across the UK.
For this new edition Daly, with Andrew Pollard, has worked with top practitioners from around the UK to create a text that is both cohesive and that continues to evolve to meet the needs of today's secondary school teachers. It provides two levels of support: practical, evidence-based guidance on key classroom issues, such as relationships, behaviour, curriculum planning, teaching strategies and assessment - evidence-informed 'principles' and 'concepts' to help you continue developing your skills.
This updated edition offers creative strategies for supporting all learners.
