In order to be a successful primary teacher you need a clear understanding of good teaching practice across the subjects that make up the primary curriculum.
This second edition has been fully updated to include key points from the 2014 National Curriculum in England, balancing a clear discussion of the principles behind high quality teaching with the requirements of current policy. An emphasis on creative approaches supports you in developing inspiring cross-curricular practice in your classroom.
New to this edition:
- Links to the 2014 National Curriculum in England in every chapter
- Case studies in every chapter provide useful examples of creative teaching in each curriculum subject
- Expanded coverage on assessment and planning
This is essential reading for students on primary initial teacher education courses, including university-based (PGCE, PGDE, BA QTS, BEd), school-based (SCITT, School Direct, Teach First) and employment-based routes into teaching.
Provides trainee teachers with a clear understanding of how to embed inspiring teaching across the subjects that make up the new Primary Curriculum.

We make sense, and learn about our world, by gathering and piecing together evidence from a range of different aspects and subjects. This book promotes the importance and value of both discrete and cross-curricular teaching, focusing on the need to broaden horizons and interests resulting in self-motivated lifelong learners. -- Claire Garven This book situates UK education within the current and global of educational change. It provides new and experienced teachers with a research-focused history of the national curriculum up to the present day. -- Jenny Carpenter
