"I really like the format of the series…a quick read where the chapter sections make it easy to dip in and out of the text to find relevant material." Mary Hutchings, Oxford Brookes University, UK
The Mastering Primary Teaching series looks at the core principles underpinning each of the subjects of the primary National Curriculum, thereby helping student teachers to 'master' them. Each book follows the same sequence of chapters for each subject, helping lecturers to use multiple volumes concurrently. These guides introduce their subjects and help trainees to plan and teach inspiring lessons, covering the following topics within each subject area: current developments, making the subject irresistible, supporting practical activity, skills development, promoting curiosity, and assessment. Examples of children’s work and case studies are included to help exemplify what is considered to be best and most innovative practice in primary education. The series is written by leading professionals, who draw on their years of experience to provide authoritative guides to the primary curriculum subject areas.
