Description

This book sets out to explore with beginning primary teachers, and the people who support them in schools and institutions, some of the wider issues which need to be considered when working with primary age children and how these are woven into the broad framework of teaching and teachers' own learning. Cameos and examples of classroom practice help to illustrate the many different aspects of teaching: what it is to be an effective and competent teacher; classroom processes such as planning, observation and assessment; the variety of ways in which children learn and develop thinking and skills; social interactions and support networks; equal opportunities; and 'in loco parentis' responsibilities.
