Taking the key themes of the ITT Core Content Framework, this comprehensive book covers every major aspect of contemporary teaching and supports new teachers in reflecting on what good pedagogic practice looks like and how to develop this through observing and learning from expert colleagues.
Case studies, based on real examples provided by headteachers and other experts, offer the chance to explore day-to-day teaching issues in real life. Critical tasks and question guides challenge readers to deepen their practical knowledge.
This is essential reading for all students on primary initial teacher education courses including university-based (PGCE, BEd, BA with QTS) and school-based (School Direct, SCITT, Teach First) routes into teaching.
This is a very useful text to prepare students for teaching in primary schools with lots of practical and sound advice given throughout.
Introduction to Primary Teaching is an insightful and approachable resource for those pursuing a career in primary education. With clear and thorough explanations, the book delves into the essential principles and practices of teaching young learners, making it a must-read for student teachers, and anyone looking to enhance their understanding of primary education.
It is good to see a book approach the idea of supporting children and their "visual" behaviours by understanding the underlying factors and influences and focusing on pupils' self-efficacy. Other topics are covered in a refreshing and relevant manner in my opinion - this book looks at teaching in its broadest sense rather than simply focussing on curriculum.
