Paperback. Condizione: New. This text offers a framework in which the intuitions of individual teachers have been synthesised into a broader understanding of how learning happens. It suggests a holistic model, which strives to integrate a number of learning theories. The book uses the metaphorical notion of the "learner's journey", to discuss how learning happens over time. The learner is the "hero" of the adventure, who having been "called to action" travels on an exciting but sometimes arduous journey from the "ordinary world", towards the ultimate reward of independent learning and self-development.

Paperback. Condizione: New. What does 'supporting the school' really mean? What can a staff governor take part in? How can we deal with a misbehaving governor? Do LEA governors have to toe a party line? Should a new head opt to be a governor? Do we have to give the head an annual pay rise? In this collection of articles originally printed in her well-known weekly 'Agenda' advice column in the Times Educational Supplement, Joan Sallis tackles these and many other questions with the humour, humanity and candour for which she is renowned. She defines boundaries, clarifies the representative role of school governors, offers guidance on relations between the head and the governing body, and the principles, procedures and skills that underpin successful team-building, sound decision-making, and honourable behaviour among all those groups which make up the school community. This collection is an essential complement to the best-selling Basics for School governors. It includes a concise summary of new regulations (made under the Education Act 2002) which came out in the summer of 2003, and which could significantly change the way governing bodies work.Not only school governors, head teachers and parents, but anyone who has to manage difficult 'people situations', in any context, will gain valuable insights from the range of experience and wisdom concentrated within these pages.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 1st ed. This book describes how an ordinary high school set about incorporating accelerated learning into its teaching practices and policies. Headteacher Derek Wise provides a macro view of the process, discussing the changes made across the whole school. Head of Science, Mark Lovatt, provides a micro view, looking at ways to use accelerated learning in the classroom. Their experiences provide useful reading for any school wishing to improve the learning quality of its students. Several case studies are included to show how accelerated learning techniques can be applied to different subjects.

Paperback. Condizione: New. In the next five years we are likely to discover with increasing certainty how learning happens and how we can best support learners of all abilities and needs. ICT in all its forms will have a dramatic and catalytic role to play in this learning evolution - especially as we learn more about the subtle interplay between hearing, seeing and doing. Yet at the moment we risk confusing the catalyst with the effect - if our gaze stays fixed on the technology, the dramatic learning opportunities it might encourage could pass us by. As if by magic, just as our knowledge and understanding of accelerated learning theory is developing, we have new classroom tools to help us support many of its key principles. Carefully used, data projectors linked to computers can fill a classroom with wall with a still or moving image, and provide new opportunities for showing the big picture at the start of a lesson and for rolling a scrolling review of what has been learned at the end. Step by step, author and Guardian columnist, John Davitt explains how you can make the most of this opportunity. This book outlines five practical, whole-school ICT projects that will inspire staff and pupils alike.Many ideas for the use of ICT across the curriculum are provided along with guidance on intranets, environment, turboteaching and zoning.

Paperback. Condizione: New. This book and the associated videos look at the issue that concerns teachers most - that is, what it means to be an effective teacher. Five secondary school teachers have been filmed and analysed using recent research findings. This helps to make clear the combination of teacher skills and professional characteristics needed to produce effective teching.This resource can be used by: - teachers as a mechanism for discussion during school INSET concerning classroom management; - individual teachers at home who may wish to reveiw their own approach to teaching; - ITT students who may wish to supplement their own classroom observation with examples of effective teachers in other schools; - training colleges who wish to give their students examples of effective teachers and use this as a means of discussion; - teachers who are reflecting on their teaching practice as they approach their Threshold Application; - teachers who have gone through the Threshold and wish to move on to the next stage of Performance Management In each case, the extensive manual outlines each of the individual teacher's intentions and aspirations and then allows you to compare this with some 30 minutes of video focusing on their classroom practice. Finally, these two impressions are compared with the designated features of effective teaching and learning as outlined in the Hay McBer report.
