Description
To be published alongside Primary Curriculum - Teaching the Foundation Subjects, this textbook focuses on how to teach the following core curriculum areas effectively to 5 to 11 year olds:
English
Mathematics
Science
ICT
Each subject is treated in the same way to give the reader:
The principles, underlying how to teach the subject area;
The practice, including how to plan, teach, assess and evaluate, with 'top tips' from teachers, head teachers and inspectors;
Information beyond the curriculum, including cross-curricular links and out-of-school learning.
This book will provide training and newly qualified teachers with a one-stop resource for developing their skills in teaching the core areas of the National Curriculum. The chapters adhere to the QTS Standards and to a uniform structure - non-sequential reading is possible (in fact encouraged!). Further, the chapters are user-friendly with full textbook features including boxed case studies, examples of good practice, and a spacious text design.
Contributors include: Rosemary Boys, Senior Lecturer in English and Pedagogy, Russell Jones, Senior Lecturer in Early Childhood Studies, William Cooper, Senior Lecturer in Drama and Pedagogy, and Ian Sugarman, Senior Lecturer in Mathematics - all at the Institute of Education, Manchester Metropolitan University. And Robert Davies, Senior Lecturer in Primary Mathematics, Bath Spa University; Debbie Eccles and Kate Blacklock, Science Consultants, Education Excellence, Lancashire; and Nicholas Easingwood, ICT Coordinator and Course Leader, Anglia Ruskin University.
