The Trainee Teacher's Guide to Academic Assignments

This book supports trainee teachers with their written assignments.  It helps students to approach their academic writing with confidence, to fully demonstrate what they know and to ′ace′ assignments!

It explains:

1.  The value and purpose of assignments - making the writing process easier and more effective from the start

2.  How to read and write academically - with practical, ‘how to’ support 

3.  How to respond to marking and feedback to improve your grades - developing your academic identity and your knowledge and performance for teaching

Teacher training is challenging.  Balancing teaching with academic work is hard work.  This book is here to help.
