I just thought I’d post quickly to give update on what’s been going on with the PGCE Survival Guide!
The Guide has been out for just over one week now, and quite simply the response has been totally beyond my wildest expectations! To date we’ve had:-
- 5,342 Downloads
- 30 Physical Purchases
The book has been placed on 11 PGCE Courses reading lists (that I know of) – which is fantastic.
The TES featured the book- this was great and a very interesting experience having a photographer taking photos of me for over an hour and half! And it’s been the subject of countless blog posts and online articles ( so many I’ve actually lost track of them all- thankyou so much if you featured it in your blog/website!
I’ve also had some interesting developments personally with a few approaches to be involved in various different things- and even to run a PGCE Survival Course. I’m currently deciding what to do with some of these!
I also saw a hard copy of the book for the first time when I got my copies from LuLu- the feedback from people who have got their hands on a paper copy has been fantastic- and I can see it being handy to have a physical copy to quickly refer to during your PGCE- and at only £6.91 (the price LuLu sets) it must be one of the cheapest teaching books around!
pgceguide.com has also been set up- to provide a more ‘user friendly’ site for people to find out about the book- it’s been written to target ‘general’ PGCE Students and Teachers who aren’t yet ‘converted’ to the wonderful world of twitter etc.
I’ve done very little to promote the book (I just haven’t needed to!)- a major thank you to everyone who has helped spread the word.
PGCE courses start in a few weeks- if you know of anyone starting a PGCE/Teacher Training and they don’t yet know about the book- please point them to pgceguide.com !
Many thanks again for all your support and help!

Goodness me! From little acorns & all that! You have really ‘birthed’ an excellent addition there!
