Teaching and education are awash with myths. This book explores some of them for trainee teachers and asks:

- Where does this myth come from?

- How do we know that it isn’t true?

- Why does it matter that we challenge it?

Every chapter poses a few common myths within that area and explores what the research actually says.

Using research as a basis to explore what it true and what is false, it gives trainee teachers a much more informed understanding and encourages important discussions about teaching and learning.
