Learning to Teach Art and Design in the Secondary School is
established as the key text for all those preparing to become art and
design teachers in the secondary school. It explores a range of
approaches to teaching and learning and provides a conceptual and
practical framework for understanding the diverse nature of art and
design in the secondary school curriculum.
Written by experts in the field, it aims to inform and inspire, to
challenge orthodoxies and encourage a freshness of vision. It provides
support and guidance for learning and teaching in art and design,
suggesting strategies to motivate and engage pupils in making,
discussing and evaluating visual and material culture.
The third edition has been comprehensively updated and re-structured in
light of the latest theory, research and policy in the field and

Teach Art and Design in the Secondary School addresses issues for
student teachers and mentors on all initial teacher education courses in
Art and Design. It will also be of relevance and value to teachers in
school with designated responsibility for supervision.
