文档介绍：Primary Teaching Today
Primary Teaching Today takes the reader ‘behind the scenes’ and alerts them to
the fundamental attitudes and practices that every new primary teacher must
acquire to make a ess of their work and, crucially, to get maximum enjoy-
ment while doing so.
With a friendly narrative style and refreshing candour, the book focuses as
much on what primary teachers should aspire to be as it does on what teachers
are meant to do. Thus, the early chapters orientate towards the attributes for
which teachers should strive; the later chapters are more heavily weighted
towards the implications for classroom practice and work in school. The final
chapter offers a variety of exercises and tasks to deepen thinking and enhance
professional learning, linked to the QTS Standards.
Throughout the book there are ‘Extend your thinking’ prompts containing
statements and questions to stimulate the reader in facing challenging issues,
a ‘Terminology check’ to clarify meanings of terms, plus ‘Strengthening practice’
boxes with practical suggestions about implementation. The book is also unique
in that it provides relevant information about key issues under ‘Professional
learning perspectives’ at the end of each chapter.
Denis Hayes was formally Professor of Primary Education at the Faculty of
Education, University of Plymouth, UK.
