Effective Teaching in Schools: Theory and Practice

The third edition of this immensely successful book has been thoroughly updated to take account of changes in policy and practice, and includes material which addresses the new professional standards for qualified teacher status (QTS) and beyond. The revisions also address the needs of those undertaking masters level work as part of their initial teacher training programme. The book retains its accessible style, and makes authoritative use of theoretical writings and research findings to inform our understanding of classroom practice. This book provides an ideal introduction to effective teaching.

The revised text has taken particular account of developments in personalised learning, the use of ICT, interactive teaching, classroom dialogue, inclusion, assessment for learning, evidence-based classroom practice, the Every Child Matters agenda, and the teaching methods underpinning the National Strategies.
