This podcast explores workplace learning – particularly the learning that occurs outside of the formal process and in the staffroom or PE office. Drawing on the work of Tony Rossi, lisahunter, Erin Christensen and Doune Macdonald, this podcast considers the different faces of teacher education. Specifically, it explores the unchallenged idea that learning to teach is best done in schools where issues of power and tradition have a strong part to play in the early careers of novice teachers. "Biting your tongue", "turning a blind eye" and 'playing the game' are just some of the messages to emerge from this book and our discussions, as is the need for some pre-service teachers to fit in to a department rather than stand apart.
