Understanding Effective Learning: Strategies for the classroom Des Hewitt

- Models of learning
- Learning strategies and the teacher
- Learning strategies and the learner
- Assessment for Learning
- The social dimension of children's learning
Understanding Effective Learning is key reading for student, beginning and early career teachers in primary education.
