Description
The book you can trust to guide you through your teaching career, as the expert authors share tried and tested techniques in primary settings. Dominic Wyse, with Andrew Pollard, have worked with top practitioners from around the UK, to create a text that is both cohesive and that continues to evolve to meet the needs of today's primary school teachers.
This book uniquely provides two levels of support:
- practical, evidence--based guidance on key classroom issues, such as relationships, behaviour, curriculum planning, teaching strategies and assessment
- evidence--informed 'principles' and 'concepts' to help you continue developing your skills
New to this edition:
- More case studies and research summaries based on teaching in the primary school than ever before
- New reflective activities and guidance on key readings at the end of each chapter
- Updates to reflect recent changes in curriculum and assessment across the UK
reflectiveteaching.co.uk provides a treasure trove of additional support.

Reviews / Votes
This text provides a superlative exploration of the myriad aspects of primary school education. There is value in its pages for everyone, from the trainee starting out, to the experienced school leader. It continues to reserve its worthy place on my bookshelf. * Daniel Ayres, University of East London, UK *More details
