Reception, it's a funny old term, rather like a waiting room, a
foyer, or a gathering place before the main event. The main event
here being the start of Key Stage One and school life. Reception
has in many ways been seen as a 'holding pen', a preparation for
'school readiness' rather than a stage and age in its own right.
Neil Farmer draws upon his experience of working with and
supporting schools and leaders up and down the country and abroad -
in many instances going right back to the basics - and putting
forward suggestions and strategies that will assist teachers in
gaining an ownership of their classroom and a true understanding of
their vital role as a facilitator, mediator and coach. It is not a
'one cap fits all solution', but rather some practical tips that
Reception teachers may decide to employ, alter and make their own.
