ABSTRACT

First Published in 2000. All teachers want to get better at teaching. Sometimes the frantic pace of school life, the heavy demands and the need to conform to different people's expectations, conspire to suppress their creativity and initiative. This book provides a combination of explanation, challenge and practical activities to help busy practitioners enhance their work with pupils and make the best of their teaching opportunities. It is written in the belief that it is possible to get better at teaching by translating the time spent on a careful study of relevant issues into practical classroom experience, and using this experience as a basis for further reflection and study.
