A Word of Advice • Do not be deceived by the apparent simplicity and briefness of the text. • Idea Density (Do you know what this term means?) • Sophisticated Vocabulary • “It is often assumed, somewhat naively, that the ability to learn through observing classroom events is fairly intuitive. In fact, while few would deny the role of intuition in the preparation of teachers, the ability to see with acuity, to select, identify and prioritise among a myriad of co-occurring experiences is something that can be guided, practised, learned and improved.”
