Description
This reader is designed to complement teaching practice and method studies for those intending to teach in secondary schools. It covers a diverse range of topics in addressing the question "what do teachers need to know about pupils, classrooms and schools, and what do they need to know about how their work relates to the wider world"? Coverage includes: the "craft" of teaching; school organization; assessment; constructive discipline; special educational needs; pastoral care; parents; gender and race in education; and yound people inside and outside school. Together, the contributions address both the frameworks that guide the practice of teaching and those that provide its context. The book offers core readings on key topics to debate, and for the most part, chapters are brief. Some argue a case, others provide resources and reference points, others stimulate discussion. All aim to help in the construction of frameworks for teaching.
