Teaching In The Primary School

Out Of Print... This the second volume in the Studies in Primary Education Series, reviews current teaching methods and curriculum practice against the reality of classroom practice and recent educational objectives and policies. In some ways a re-appraisal of progressive individual and group teaching and learning methods, together with practical guidelines for teachers. "Galton has the enviable ability to bring into focus events and practices which were blurred: he speaks directly to successful teachers both to explain their effectiveness and to spur them on to new challenges. The author shakes a kaleidoscope of ideas in what is also a clear guide to the historical context of the present day practice and the research on which this future development should be based-a vital companion to the classroom practitioner, all who train for it and governors who wish to understand it." Professor Tim Brighouse, University of Keele
