Developing Active Learning in the Primary Classroom - 9781446255476

Establishing an effective learning environment in the classroom requires a clear understanding of different teaching strategies that make children active participants in their own learning. This book explores a range of philosophies and strategies to develop active learning in primary education. It balances theory with practice to provide evidence-based guidance and suggestions for use in the classroom.

Key topics include:

• Creating a supportive learning environment
• Developing the questioning skills of teachers and children
• Learning through assessment
• Developing thinking skills through curriculum subjects
• Active learning in early years education
• Philosophy for Children (P4C)
• Frameworks to promote thinking

This is essential reading for professional studies modules on primary initial teacher education courses, including university-based (PGCE, PGDE, BA QTS, BEd), school-based (SCITT, School Direct) and employment-based routes into teaching. It also serves as a handbook for schools that are developing their approaches to active learning.
