Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its publication in 1984, the first edition of Organising Learning in the Primary School Classroom has been recognised as an indispensable guide for primary school teachers in their quest for more effective practice in the classroom. It gives help on everyday problems of classroom organisation: how to group children, how to set out a classroom physically, how to make the most efficient use of time and resources. Throughout, the aim is to get teachers and student-teachers to analyse their own classrooms and to produce solutions that will work for them. This second edition retains these strengths, but has been completely revised to take account of recent thinking in education and of the new situation created by the National Curriculum with its associated assessment. The sections on curriculum content and especially the teaching of science have been expanded and the very useful guidance on topic work now looks at the implications of the National Curriculum for this method of teaching.

A final section follows some of the students through their fist year as qualified teachers. Teacher education is going through a peiod of radical change and more peole than ever before now have some responsibility, whether in higher education or in school for the training of teachers.

Download or read book Architecture of Schools The New Learning Environments written by Mark Dudek and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the standard design guide on schools architecture, providing vital information on school architecture. Mark Dudek views school building design as a particularly specialised field encompassing ever changing educational theories, the subtle spatial and psychological requirements of growing children and practical issues that are unique to these types of building. He explores the functional requirements of individual spaces, such as classrooms, and shows how their incorporation within a single institution area are a defining characteristic of the effective educational environment. Acoustics, impact damage, the functional differentiation of spaces such as classrooms, music rooms, craft activities and gymnasium, within a single institution are all dealt with. More esoteric factors such as the effects on behaviour of colour, light, surface texture and imagery are considered in addition to the more practical aspects of designing for comfort and health. Chapter 4 comprises 20 case studies which address those issues important in the creation of modern school settings. They are state of the art examples from all parts of the world. These examples include: Pokstown Down Primary, Bournemouth; Haute Vallee School, Jersey; Heinz-Galinski School, Berlin; Anne Frank School, Papendract, Netherlands; Seabird Island School, British Columbia and The Little Village Academy, Chicago.

Book excerpt: First Published in 2001. Starting with references to the Cockcroft Report of 1982 and the National Strategy, this study defines numeracy as mathematics in action and outlines its importance in everyday life. Using and applying mathematics within the early learning setting means children are also taught to solve problems, to communicate their ideas and develop their reasoning skills. Teaching Assistants provide the most effective support in mathematics when working in partnership with the teacher, by sharing goals. To do this effectively it is important for assistants to understand how mathematics learning takes place within the early years setting and to know how and when to use mathematics language and equipment. The purpose of this book is to provide such understanding and knowledge.
