Synopsis

There are a variety of views on teaching. At one extreme, some teachers deny any value to theoretical thinking: Learning to teach consists merely of acquiring tips from experienced hands. At the other extreme, some academics have a very abstract, theoretical approach. Reflective teaching lies between; it allows practitioners to relate practice and theory within their own particular contexts.No other text has done more to promote reflective teaching. This new edition is fully updated to respond to: --new research findings--social change--developments in educational policy--new standards for initial teacher educationIt also maintains continuity with the Third Edition, having the same structure, and a cross-referenced index. The book may be read independently, but it is also part of an unprecedented support package including: --RT web, a regularly updated website with supplementary text, activities and further reading--Readings for Reflective Teaching; the companion books is a unique mini-library of well over a hundred education readings, both classic and contemporary
