An essential text specifically aimed at all beginning teachers involved in early years and Reception teaching, to help develop outstanding professional practice.

How to develop the personal and professional skills and behaviours you need to be the best early career teacher you can be.

This guide for current and aspiring mentors explores what effective mentoring is and how to succeed in the role.

The thesis presents experimental and theoretical findings on the surface dynamics and surface Dirac fermion (DF) spectral function of strong topological insulators Bi2Te3 and Bi2Se3. Experimental results indicate a strong Kohn anomaly in the surface phonon dispersion of a low-lying optical mode, alongside the absence of surface Rayleigh acoustic phonons. By fitting the experimental data to theoretical models using phonon Matsubara functions, the study extracted matrix elements of the coupling Hamiltonian and modifications to the surface phonon propagator encoded in the phonon self-energy. This enabled the first calculation of phonon mode-specific DF coupling λ ν (q) from experimental data, revealing an average coupling significantly higher than typical values for metals, highlighting the strong coupling between optical surface phonons and surface DFs in topological insulators. To correlate with experimental results from photoemission spectroscopies, an electronic (DF) Matsubara function was constructed using the determined electron-phonon matrix elements and optical phonon dispersion. This facilitated the calculation of the DF spectral function and density of states, allowing for comparisons with photoemission and scanning tunneling spectroscopies. The findings establish the necessary energy resolution and extraction methodology for calculating λ from the DF perspective.

This is essential reading for aspiring and practicing primary school teachers to develop strategies to enhance the importance of mental health and emotional well-being.

Essential reading for all primary science trainee and beginning teachers who want to strengthen their science subject knowledge.

Essential reading for your year as a primary newly qualified teacher (NQT), providing support through advice, reassurance and practical strategies, and encouraging you to critically reflect on your experiences to get the most from your induction period.

An essential companion for all primary trainee teachers, whatever their training route,focusing on the school-based experience. It provides both practical strategies and opportunities for reflection, so trainees are challenged to critically evaluate their learning in order to improve attainment.

Aimed at trainees and teachers, this up to date text addresses primary science teaching in light of the new primary National Curriculum and the latest Teachers' Standards, providing creative, inspiring and practical ideas and approaches for teaching the full range of science topics.
