Subject Teaching in Primary Education Reviews

'An essential read for trainee and newly qualified teachers covering all key areas of the primary curriculum. There is a real sense of experienced and enthusiastic practitioners writing about 'what makes good' and why, with lots of clear practical examples of how to put ideas into practice.'

-- Jackie Keith

'An essential read for trainee and newly qualified teachers covering all key areas of the primary curriculum. Experienced teachers will also find this useful as a refresher, as well as those leading a new area of the curriculum. Current pedagogy and systems are referred to throughout in a very accessible way. There is a real sense of experienced and enthusiastic practitioners writing about 'what makes good' and why, with lots of clear practical examples of how to put ideas into practice.'

-- Jackie Keith

'The general message of the book appears to not only prepare teachers to think about each subject area but to recognise, as Eisner (2002: 58) would suggest, that the teacher 'teaches herself as well as the subject'. As a result paying each subject due attention and recognising their strengths and learning opportunities becomes important; enabling the subjects to be represented more evenly to children.

Useful connections to recent policy and relevant research literature which provides an up to date feel. In addition classroom practice is represented through the practice based examples.

A creative approach to art and design is encouraged in the dedicated chapter on this important area of the curriculum. This approach encourages children to be playful with materials and ideas, but to also become knowledgeable in traditional and contemporary art practices: drawing painting photography and through the use of sketchbooks. Material is included which supports the management of the learning environment and positive approaches to engaging with a broad selection of artistic practices. References to recent policy and research material helps contextualise the ideas in a broader setting.'

-- Paul Key
