Abstract
Books are never, of course, complete in themselves. There is always a space, and a need, for interpretation: they come to mean something when readers bring the text into some sort of conjunction with their life-worlds. This general truth takes on a particular significance in relation to a book such as Learning to teach in the secondary school, since it is, as its second title declares, A companion to school experience: what it is, what it means, cannot be judged in isolation from the specificities of the intended readership’s exploration of the environment of the secondary schools in which they find themselves as student teachers. Thus one question that might legitimately be posed about such a guide is: will it help its readers to make sense of their experiences? And, by and large, the answer is yes.
