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.
