About this title

About the Author:

Reggie Byram has worked as a teacher in England, Zambia and Botswana, at primary, secondary and higher education levels.

Hope Dube was born in Zimbabwe. She took degree courses and qualified as a teacher in Britain. Her Master's dissertation examined competence-based education and training.

Review:

"Byram and Dube revisit the essentials for good planning. The book walks the reader through the main principles of planning, weaving in vital contingencies such as Every Child Matters, Bloom's taxonomy and assesment for learning. The writing of effective learning objectives is dealt with in a truly demystifying manner, as is the distinction between an aim and an objective."Learning and Teaching Update, April 2009
