All trainee teachers have to meet the Teachers’ Standards in order to gain qualified teacher status, yet many are unsure what this entails. A quick guide to Meeting the Teachers’ Standards: Part 1 is very helpful in this respect. Using key words from the Standards, this book helps trainees to understand exactly what they need to do and the evidence that will demonstrate this. The guide is clear, concise and contains useful pointers on things to do and to avoid. It is a most useful resource for anyone embarking on teacher training.Neil Brading, Outset Teacher Education Ltd
