Effective Teaching Strategies: Lessons from Research and Practice provides you with a practical overview of nine common teaching strategies used in all levels of education and training from early childhood through to higher education. Coverage of the importance of being a reflective teacher helps you to learn to reflect on your philosophy of teaching and determine which teaching strategy to use in different situations. The clear, logical, and easy-to-navigate structure – covering each teaching strategy thoroughly – makes this a valuable resource, especially in your professional placement, and in your future classrooms. Useful resources include basic lesson plan templates, and Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary lesson plan sets (via Instructor website).
