Supporting Learning and Teaching

This edited collection covers the full range of themes and issues relevant to teaching/classroom assistants studying on a foundation degree course.

With a heavy emphasis on developing both effective study skills and "reflective" thinking skills, this book: covers issues relevant to all age ranges so students can transfer this knowledge to their own educational settings; provides specific guidance for assistants supporting bilingual learners; helps students develop skills in guidance, counselling, child protection, and behavior management; offers detailed advice on organizing and managing a voluntary club; and includes practical activities for "Developing Study Skills", discussion pointsz and boxes to help "Reflect on Practice".

"The book is well set out and at the end of each section there is a list of websites and a reference list. This is really useful if you want to find out more information or study something in greater depth...I would strongly recommend the book to anyone supporting children in school who is studying for a Foundation Degree."
