"Understanding Primary Education will help trainees and newly qualified teachers reflect on the professional decisions that they make within their planning and classroom practice. Key issues and policies within contemporary education are analysed through reference to research and case studies of pedagogical practice to provide a broad perspective of the curriculum with a focus on what curriculum breadth and balance looks like in practice." "Drawing on the voices of trainees, teachers, other education professionals and, most importantly, those of children, the authors illuminate how learning is facilitated and how knowledge and understandings are constructed collaboratively within the classroom and other settings. Each chapter begins with the identification of several key questions linked to such themes as curriculum planning, pedagogy, inclusion, assessment and children's learning, which readers are encouraged to relate to their own experiences." "With case study material drawing on a range of educational settings, activities and reflections that invite readers to consider the issues discussed, this book will prove an invaluable resource for all trainees and newly qualified teachers."--Jacket
