Top Picks – Teachers & Teaching

We have recently added both print and ebooks to our collection of material on Teachers & Teaching, so do browse the Library shelves wherever you are and see what you might find!

Take a look at the Teachers & Teaching section (371/1) or the individual curriculum subject sections in the Education Library. If you are not sure where these are, just ask at the Welcome Desk and we will happily show you!

Why not take a look at the titles in the Mentoring trainee and early career teachers series and on our Faculty Publications series you will find an introduction from Gosia Marschall on her chapter in Mentoring mathematics teachers in the secondary school: A practical guide

The Education Library Team are here to help, so any Education students can request print books via our Click & Collect service to help you access the print resources you need whilst away from the Faculty. Just select the Click & Collect icon on the Library Moodle Site and fill in the form!

Our Education Ebooks Collection* is available anywhere at anytime and here are some of the recent additions added to the Teachers & Teaching section, which is divided into subsections to enable you to navigate the collection and find the material you need both quickly and easily .
