'Understanding Teaching and Learning in Primary Education covers all the key issues for beginning or developing teachers. The writing style is clear and accessible with 'Thinking points' providing opportunities for reflection. The inclusion of links to relevant theory allow the reader to explore areas of interest in greater depth.' -- Richard Holme This is the second edition of a practical and comprehensive book that is valuable reading for all aspiring teachers, whatever route their training takes (school, university or employment based). Based on practical experience, this textbook gives teachers of the future guidance and insights into the knowledge, values and commitments necessary to succeed in the primary classroom; insights that it can otherwise take much practical experience to accumulate.... An insightful and comprehensive book, ideal for on-going reference. -- Sarah Brew * Parents in Touch *More details
