Teaching Children 3-11: A Student's Guide

Focusing on the major topics underpinning professional studies strands in primary and early years teacher education, Teaching Children 3-11 provides indispensable coverage of vital practical and conceptual issues that support good teaching practice.

This third edition of the popular textbook has been carefully revised following detailed lecturer feedback to meet the evolving needs of students learning to teach across the 3-11 age range.

This new edition offers a balanced contemporary overview of modern teaching practice in an engaging and accessible manner acknowledging the growing need for Masters-level study in initial teacher education. Its coverage provides both breadth and depth to equip training teachers with skills to become confident and effective classroom practitioners. There are four new chapters on the development of curriculum policy, diversity and inclusion, curriculum organisation and communication in the classroom.

This is essential reading for all students on primary and early years initial teacher education courses including undergraduate (BEd, BA with QTS), postgraduate (PGCE, SCITT, GTP), and employment-based routes into teaching. It will also be invaluable for those starting out on their professional careers.
