Description
Student teachers now have to demonstrate a certain level of subject knowledge in both primary and secondary sectors to be awarded Qualified Teacher Status. How do lecturers actually go about teaching, assessing and auditing subject knowledge though? How do students react to deficiencies in their knowledge? This book draws on the author's research to provide a concise text which answers these and other questions about the drive to improve subject knowledge and how this might be achieved. The book offers practical suggestions for a range of approaches ranging from in-depth, long-term reflective study to quick fix solutions to meet course requirements. There is also a focus on how ITT and CPD courses are performing - by OFSTED.
