Teachers in primary schools deal with a wide range of issues every day. This book helps teachers to understand those issues, and how they fit in with recent government policies and initiatives.
Each chapter looks at:

relevant statements of policy or initiative

how these statements fit into the context of specific schools

the challenges they present for those involved in schools

how schools can respond to these challenges

learning across contexts

Each chapter has been written by one practitioner and one academic and between them the chapters cover the whole range of Australian primary schools.
