How can trainee teachers begin their careers with a clear understanding
of all the curriculum subjects? This book addresses the nature of
subject knowledge in all foundation curriculum subjects. It deconstructs
the elements of each subject through an exploration of the nature of the
subject, a coverage of the ′skills′ a study of this subject develops and
through detailed analysis of case studies from practice. At a time when
concerns about the lack of breadth in the primary curriculum are being
voiced, this book supports busy trainee teachers to truly understand and
be ready to teach all curriculum areas.
