Choosing the Right Environment
In every profession, you'll encounter conflicting advice, with different people sharing their valuable experience, but the truth of the matter, none of it may apply to you.
'Teacher Training: The 5 BIG Mistakes to Avoid' tackles this head-on by looking behind the messaging.
Although we often talk about "teaching" as though it were a single profession, the reality is very different. The skills, personalities and environments required across schools, colleges, universities and specialist settings can vary enormously—and not every route is right for every person.

This book offers an honest, practical guide to navigating those choices, helping you avoid costly mistakes and discover the teaching path where you're most likely to thrive.
