The emphasis on subject knowledge in primary curricula is a world-wide phenomenon and has become increasingly the focus of attention in England, with the introduction of the National Curriculum and the appointment of subject co-ordinators in schools. Yet what exactly constitutes a subject and its practice remains controversial. The book is organised into five parts. Part one examines the general aims of primary education, in order to give a background for a more detailed exploration of UK curriculum development. Parts two, three and four examine the core subjects of English, science and mathematics, whilst constantly bearing in mind the full range of views about the purpose of education and the nature of knowledge. Part five introduces key debates about approaches to knowledge, and raises issues about the future organisation of the curriculum. Subject Learning in the Primary Curriculum is the OU reader for Module 832, Teaching and Learning in the Primary Core Curriculum in the MA in Education.

The New Woman sought vast improvements in Victorian culture that would enlarge educational, professional, and domestic opportunities. Although New Women resist ready classification or appraisal as a monolithic body, they tended to share many of the same beliefs and objectives aimed at improving female conditions. While novels about the iconoclastic New Woman have garnered much interest in recent decades, poetry from the cultural and literary figure has received considerably less attention. Yet the very issues that propelled New Woman fiction are integral to the poetry of the fin de siecle. This book - the first in-depth account on the subject - enriches our knowledge of exceptionally gifted writers, including Mathilde Blind, M. E. Coleridge, Olive Custance, and Edith Nesbit. It focuses on their long-neglected British verse, analyzing its treatment of crucial matters on both the personal and public level to provide the attention the poetry so richly deserves.

Jonell Patricia Murphy has been a Substitute teacher (off and on) for Newark Public Schools for over twenty years. One day, as some seniors were signing their names on her Attendance sheet, she noticed that almost everyone was printing their names--one letter at a time! When she mentioned this to another teacher she was informed that cursive writing is no longer taught in schools, and hadn't been for a long time. So, Looping Letters was created. It is a fun, easy, self-improvement workbook for teenagers to practice and learn at their own pace. The instructions are written in print. There are images and pictures throughout the book that today's teenagers and younger children will recognize and enjoy. In a few short pages, they can finally master the art of cursive writing and gain another valuable skill that will support them up the ladder of success. Murphy has a degree in English/Journalism from Rutgers University, and a paralegal certificate from Fairleigh Dickinson University.
