About this title

Synopsis

This invaluable guide is designed for all trainees working towards Qualified Teacher Status. Covering essential skills of planning, monitoring and assessment and class management, it relates these specifically to primary science teaching. This new, third edition has been completely revised to reflect the latest QTS Standards, Primary National Strategy and other initiatives. Popular, existing features are joined by new reflective tasks and "Moving On" sections, helping trainees build on each chapter and apply their understanding to whole-class issues and longer-term scenarios. New material, for example on children's talk and engagement, has been added to bring the text fully up-to-date.
