Continuous professional development and career progression within the teaching profession is now highly formalised and regulated, with clear stages and levels of attainment from initial teacher training through to full headship.

Written by two leading figures in teacher education, this volume is designed for ambitious and career-minded teachers whether they are just setting out or eyeing the next rung on the ladder. Morgan and Neil pay particular attention to:

* the new post and induction
* personal strategies and collaboration
* middle and senior management
* performance management.

Teachers are faced with a complex set of options and requirements which are comprehensively explored in this guide. Further reading lists and stimulating questions at the end of each chapter help the reader to reflect and go forward in their development.

Designed for all trainee and newly qualified teachers, teacher trainers and mentors, this volume provides a contemporary handbook for the teaching of modern foreign languages, covering Key Stages 2, 3 and 4 in line with current DfEE and TTA guidelines.

The book covers current British requirements for reaching qualified teacher status in MFL and brings a practical focus on classroom teaching. It opens up a wider discussion on the context of MFL teaching, both in terms of the subject itself and of the teacher's own professional development. Supported throughout with tasks and examples, it is an invaluable and practical source book to support all new teachers.

Hardly any other epoch in art history has been marked by as many profound changes as the Late Gothic was in the fifteenth century. Inspired by Netherlandish role models, depictions of light and shadow, body and space, became increasingly more realistic. Everyday life found entry into the arts. With the invention of printing, images and texts were distributed to an extent previously unheard of. Artists such as Nicolaus Gerhaert and Martin Schongauer became widely known and influenced the development of the visual arts throughout Europe and across all genres. Featuring a wide selection of works, the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin present the first extensive exhibition of Late Gothic art in the German-speaking regions. Its comparison and contrast of the various genres turns the catalogue into a handbook for the arts at the threshold of the modern era.

As differentiated as art history is today, a major chapter has been largely neglected: the craft of the interior decorator. And this, even though the delicate aesthetic sensibilities, the sense of color, and the eye for composition required to decorate private rooms have more direct influence on our lives than any work of art in any museum could lay claim to. This richly illustrated volume is dedicated to one of the pioneering German masters of this craft: Peter Gustaf Doren. Here we encounter his work, with its surprising plasticity and liveliness. This is due not least to the versatility of Doren's works, whose aesthetics still set the (color)tone for the history of interior decoration today. Thanks to the fantastic photos and splendid color documentation Doren himself produced, this opulent book of photos makes it possible to take a trip to the world of interior decoration around 1900, while also allowing a look at the history of the reader's own four walls.
