My favourite part of this wonderful text was found on page 73, in one of the many sections, entitled: ‘What does this mean for you?’[helpful application points for teachers throughout]. On this particular page the author talks about brain development. It states: ‘Perhaps the most important overall finding of neuroscience is the need for the brain to be emotionally safe for cognition to occur...The less stress and anxiety that students experience, the more able their brain is to learn, so being positive is important.’ Similar gems and pearls of wisdom are sprinkled helpfully throughout this insightful text, empowering the reader with knowledge strategies and ideas to improve their practice. Although aimed more for primary classroom teachers, there is much here for those in the early years to explore and learn from.
(Martine Horvath)Maura Sellars trained initially at the Froebel Institute in London (now part of the University of Roehampton) before completing B. Ed (Hons) at the London Institute of Education. She has worked in primary schools in the UK and Australia for 28 years, teaching all the primary grades at one time or another. She gained a Dip.Ed. in Religious Education from ACU's Queensland campus before graduating from ACU (Strathfield) with M.Ed. (Research). On completion of her PhD she has focussed on investigating new and creative ways of accommodating student difference and inclusivity in the courses she presents to preservice teachers and others. She is also committed to the importance of reflective practice for teachers and students of all ages, the needs of 21st century learners and establishing strong links between theory and practice (praxis) in order to promote strong, accurate self-knowledge that supports increased personal and academic success in relation to learning outcomes. She is currently investigating numeracy as social practice and how reflective practitioners might interpret the mandatory curriculum documents in numeracy and mathematics in order to make learning in these areas more accessible to diverse groups of learners.
