Now in its 4th edition, the book retainsthese strengths but has been brought right up to date with the many changes that are taking place nationally and globally.The book begins with a survey of these recent changes and goes on to consider their implications for teachers if today's schools are to prepare children for what is, to some extent, an unknown future. In addition to chapters on classroom organisation, the book includes chapters on: child development; creativity; PSHE and citizenship; teaching language and literacy, ICT, mathematics and science; the foundation subjects; working with parents; working effectively with Teaching Assistants; evaluatingand assessing learning; and, teaching children with special educational needsor exceptional ability.
