Essential Guides for Early Career Teachers: Teaching Primary Foundation Subjects
Introduction
As Ofsted introduces a new framework with higher expectations regarding subject knowledge across the primary curriculum, there has never been a more important time for trainees to secure their subject knowledge and improve confidence.
Purpose of the Book
This book aims to help early career teachers in teaching primary foundation subjects. It is part of the Essential Guides for Early Career Teachers series and provides ECTs and their mentors with the right tools for teaching primary foundation subjects, improving their subject knowledge, and building understanding.
Content and Approach
It ensures that relevant theory and research are woven together with real classroom experience. It links to key readings, resources, and online sources which will allow trainees to continue their own learning and encourage independent study through the use of reflective exercises and practical tasks to ensure the delivery of the best possible teaching.
Importance and Coverage
A text like this is needed more than ever as the Ofsted framework for ITT is explicit in highlighting subject knowledge as being a key component to successful teaching. This book, therefore, covers the kind of topics that ECTs might at first struggle with—from art and design, to computing and IT, to languages like French and German. It breaks down each subject and points trainees in the direction of resources, support, and best practice.
