Teachers have a direct impact on every nation’s young people, but all too often their skills are out of date. The brand new teacher training books we provide around the world every year help to create the next generation of highly skilled and qualified teachers, ensuring the pupils of the future receive a high standard of education.
The books will also support practising teachers who rely on them to find new ideas, enrich their teaching and keep their skills up to date.
