Readings for Reflective Teaching in Schools provides a portable
library of over a hundred readings to support teacher education and
professional development. Extensively updated since earlier editions,
new readings concisely introduce much of the best of classic and
contemporary international research on teaching and learning. The
selection reflects current issues and concerns in education and has been
designed to support school-led teacher education and a wide range of
school-university partnership arrangements.
This collection of readings is edited by Andrew Pollard, former
Director of the UK's Teaching and Learning Research Programme, with the
advice of primary and secondary specialists from the University of
Cambridge.
Readings for Reflective Teaching in Schools is part of a set of
professional resources. It links directly to the textbook, Reflective
Teaching in Schools, and to the website,
reflectiveteaching.co.uk. A fully integrated and complementary
range of resources is thus offered for both primary and secondary
schools.
Reflective Teaching in Schools focuses on how to achieve
high-quality teaching and learning. It presents key issues and research
insights, suggests reflective activities for classroom enquiry, and
offers guidance on further study. By design, it offers both practical
support for effective classroom practice and routes towards deeper forms
of expertise. It has supported teachers' professional development in the
UK and beyond for over 25 years.
The website, reflectiveteaching.co.uk, offers supplementary
resources including reflective activities, research briefings, advice on
further reading and additional chapters. It also features a glossary of
educational terms, links to useful websites, and a conceptual framework
for deepening expertise.
This book is one of the Reflective Teaching Series - inspiring
education through innovation in early years, schools, further, higher
and adult education.
