Effective teachers in primary schools - Tony Swainston

A valuable, reflective resource for primary teachers considering classroom observations and giving feedback, this book and DVD pack present recordings of six experienced primary teachers in action, together with clear commentary and analysis. The commentary draws on the Hay McBer report 'A Model of Teacher Effectiveness' (DfES 2000). The pack provides direct links to performance management and cross reference to the teaching standards. It can be used to assist the interviewer and interviewee following classroom observations by giving a focus for meaningful discussions and shared professional language.
The resource can be used during school INSET, at home by individual teachers wishing to review their own approach to teaching, by NQTs, and by training colleges and ITT and GTP students.
