Design and Technology involves children learning through processes that include identifying needs and opportunities, generating and developing ideas, planning, making and evaluating. The second edition fully reflects the latest revisions in the National Curriculum and links with other curricular changes in the intervening years. Specific links are made to the National Strategies for Literacy, Numeracy and ICT; to the National Standards for Subject Leaders; to Science and the other foundation subjects; to the QCA Scheme of Work for D & T; and to new initiatives in citizenship and creativity.

This is a challenging new book for primary teachers interested in developing their teaching of Design & Technology, subject leaders in D&T, and for student teachers choosing this as their specialty. It will also appeal to in-service providers and LEA advisory staff. Children's creativity, cultural development and citizenship are important but currently underdeveloped in primary education. This book uniquely focuses on how these aspects can be emphasized in the teaching of Design and Technology. The National Curriculum has the potential to bring creativity, cultural development and citizenship into the mainstream and the authors show the considerable extent to which D & T, integrated with other curriculum subjects, can contribute to realizing these goals. There are examples throughout of best current practice showing how such ideas have been implemented.

First Published in 1997. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Design and technology involves children learning through processes that include identifying needs and opportunities, generating and developing ideas, planning, making and evaluating. These strands are brought together through the use of: case studies analysing children's learning and the teacher's roles; and practical ideas and approaches to National Curriculum requirements based on the collective experience of committed and enthusiastic teachers.;The second edition fully reflects the latest revisions in the National Curriculum and links with other curricular changes in the intervening years. Specific links are made to the National Strategies for Literacy, Numeracy, and ICT; to the National Standards for Subject Leaders; to Science and the other foundation subjects; to the QCA Scheme of Work for D and to new initiatives in citizenship and creativity.

Combining workable classroom practice with understanding of the ways children learn, this text offers a guide to the teaching of science. The approach is learning-centred, holistic and rational, and the book offers reassurance and realistic advice for those teachers who did not specialise in science, and who may be worried about their lack of experience in Science National Curriculum territory. This second edition reflects the different context of science education and the needs of teachers in the 90s. The post-Dearing National Curriculum, assessment, planning and professional development are also covered.

Ephesians Who is God and what is He doing? The Spirit led Christian challenge "Be diligent (an ever present command) to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15) "For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for they are babes. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil." (Hebrews 5:13-14) "For all scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, that the children of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:15-17) The Christian's Questions How in the world can I prepare myself to accurately handle the Word of God? How can I learn to train my senses? How can I experience the joy of understanding the Word of God? How can I be equipped for every good work God puts in front of me? What Bible should I use, what is the Bible dictionary? There are so many great questions to be answered. Our Proposed Solution Using the Inductive Bible Study Method and the principles of Observation (what do I see?), Interpretation (what did it mean in its immediate cultural context?), and Application (How can I apply God's truth to my 21st century life style?) will guide you into the study of God's word. A Christian student who is depending on the indwelling Holy Spirit can soon become, with practice, and independent "miner" of God's biblical gold truth. However, it is important to be aware of two errors that can trip up a student of the Word of God: either they will take everything second hand from others or they will refuse to take any others view of certain doctrinal truths. We must remember that we are members of the Body of Christ, tied together under the headship of Jesus Christ. So our Lord has given us a system of checks and balances that will enable us to check our gold with those of other students and teachers. In this way we will learn the differences between God's gold and "fools gold" (See Acts 17: 10-11 and 1 Corinthians 14: 29). Ron R. Ritchie (1933- ) was born and raised in Philadelphia and Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He joined the Air Force in 1953 during the Korean War and served one year in Waco, Texas before he was shipped to Rabat, Morocco in North Africa, where he served for the next three and one-half years.

In 1997, the Lord called him to join the staff of Fellowship Bible Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado as a pastor and elder. And then, in 2000 the Lord (in concert with a group of godly men and women) encouraged Ron to begin a non-profit organization called Free at Last. This ministry is designed to enable him to use his spiritual gifts of teaching, evangelism and vision within local churches, as well as to continue both his national and international conference ministry.

Discipleship AS DEFINED BY JESUS CHRIST Disciple - mathetes, lit., "a learner accomplished by endeavor, a pupil, and adherent...an imitator of their teacher." (See John 8:31, ) W.E. Vine, Vine's Expository In the beginning of the ministry of Jesus, we find that He ..".was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, 'follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.' Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. Going on a little further, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending their nets. Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went away to follow Him." (Mark 1:16-20, NASB) At the end of His ministry, Jesus met again with His disciples in the Upper Room and reminded them that He had come to this earth to die on a Roman cross for the sin of fallen humanity, saying to them: ..".after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee" (Matthew 26:32). After His resurrection, ..".the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.'" (Matthew 28:15-20, NASB) However, during the course of His ministry, which took place over a period of three years, Jesus was led by His Heavenly Father (Luke 6:12) to not only choose twelve men to follow Him, but to use that time to disciple them. He did so in such a way, to the glory of His Father, that they would be equipped to do the same kind of ministry He had done in the power of the Holy Spirit. He would not spend His time doing all the fishing for men and women by Himself: rather He would equip them to fish for men and women so that once He left this earth the members of the new church, the Body of Christ, would continue to grow around the world through disciples who were faithful to, in turn, disciple new believers in every generation until He comes again. Dr. Luke, who became a disciple of Jesus Christ under the ministry of the apostle Paul (see Acts 15:11, 51 A.D.), recorded for us in his gospel how his Master defined what He meant when He called men and women to become His disciples. The four messages on discipleship which are included in this handbook are actually part of the much larger series on the gospel according to Luke.

This book makes a unique contribution to current thinking by making a link between two current key policy drivers in education: personalized learning and distributed leadership. Ron Ritchie and Ruth Deakin Crick put forward the idea that an effective means of implementing personalizing learning is to adopt distributed approaches to school leadership. The book builds on the other titles in the "NCE Personalizing Learning" series, particularly "Personalizing Learning: Transforming Education for Every Child" by John West-Burnham and Max Coates. Personalizing learning remains a contested concept, interpreted in many different ways by policy makers, researchers and practitioners. However, it is generally agreed to be desirable if, as a result of its implementation, students' individual learning needs are more effectively addressed and it impacts positively on their learning.
