Strategies for making practical use of these ideas for classroom planning and preparation for learning are also included. This essetial reading for students on primary and scondary initial teacher eduation courses, including undergraduate (BEd, BA w/QTS), postgraduate (PGCE, PGDE), and school-based (School Direct, SCITT, Teach First) routes into teaching."--Back cover.
