This book tackles a number of issue important for teachers to think about when considering their own practice. It looks at the basic skills of learning and teaching, as well the frameworks that enable us to create safe, productive and effective learning environments. It is written in a clear style, with stimulating prompts for reflection at the end of each chapter. I would say it is a valuable text for student teachers and practising teachers alike.
A recommended read to those studying on the Foundation Degree in Educational Practice. This publication provides various topics to reflect upon in the classroom environment. Good ‘reflective points’ throughout the chapters to encourage the reader to reflect on their own teaching experiences to improve practice overall.
A very clearly written and comprehensive learning and teaching text book.
I like the 'think points' and the fact that answers to these are supplied at the back of the book. The reflective questions are useful to help teachers consider theory to practice. The content is written logically and enables the reader to interact with it. There's a good list of references to enable further research.
