The transition from student to classroom teacher presents many opportunities and challenges. Introduction to Education welcomes pre-service teachers to the field of education, providing an overview of the context, craft and practice of teaching in Australian schools. Each chapter poses a question about the nature of teaching and explores authentic classroom examples, contemporary research and literature, and the professional, policy and curriculum contexts of teaching. Thoroughly updated, the second edition continues to cover both theoretical and practical topics, with chapters addressing assessment, planning, safe learning environments, professional experience, and working with colleagues, families, caregivers and communities. Each chapter features: chapter opening stimulus materials and questions to activate prior learning and challenge assumptions; connections to policy and research with questions to encourage critical thinking and professional literacy; voices of educators and students that provide authentic classroom examples of the practical application of theory.

The book covers theoretical topics in chapters addressing assessment, planning, safe learning environments, and working with colleagues, families, carers and communities. More practical chapters discuss professional experience and building a career after graduation. Rigorous in conception and practical in scope, Introduction to Education welcomes new educators to the theory and practical elements of teaching, learning, and professional practice.
