Primary Teaching Today takes the reader behind the scenes and
alerts them to the fundamental attitudes and practices that every
new primary teacher must acquire to make a success of their work
and, crucially, to get maximum enjoyment while doing so.
With a friendly narrative style and refreshing candour, the book
focuses as much on what primary teachers should aspire to be as it
does on what teachers are meant to do. Thus, the early chapters
orientate towards the attributes for which teachers should
persevere; the later chapters are more heavily weighted towards the
implications for classroom practice and work in school. The final
chapter offers a variety of exercises and tasks to deepen thinking
and enhance professional learning, linked to the QTS Standards.
Throughout the book there are Extend your thinking prompts
containing statements and questions to stimulate the reader in
facing challenging issues, a Terminology check to clarify meanings
of terms, plus Strengthening practice boxes with practical
suggestions about implementation. The book is also unusual in that
it provides relevant information about key issues under
Professional learning perspectives at the end of each chapter.
