Presenting the theory underlying management of teaching and learning, as well as discussion of good practice in schools and colleges, the authors of this volume discuss the rationale for learning and teaching though a consideration of curriculum design. This is linked to models of learning and teaching, and the management of contexts for learning, together with the roles and responsibilities of curriculum managers. Examples are drawn from international settings as well as from the United Kingdom, encouraging the reader to explore the context of managing learning and teaching within his//her own institution. The authors provide self-study material, with extensive links to other key texts in the field.
This book is a valuable source book for curriculum managers at all levels in schools and colleges, as well as a course book for Masters' level study in educational management
After purchasing this book, I realised it was the same publication that I was issued with by University of Leicester when I studied for my MA 8 years ago. Unfortunately, I find it dated and fragmented. Education and pedagogy has moved on considerably since this was published, so it does not really represent the contemporary issues of today.
This is an excellent book for tutors and teachers; it provides an introduction to the practice of managing learning activities in a school or centre.
