Reflective Teaching: Readings for Reflective Teaching in Schools (Paperback)

Readings for Reflective Teaching in Schools provides a portable library of over a hundred readings to support teacher education and professional development. Extensively updated since earlier editions, new readings concisely introduce much of the best of classic and contemporary international research on teaching and learning. The selection reflects current issues and concerns in education and has been designed to support school-led teacher education and a wide range of school-university partnership arrangements.

This collection of readings is edited by Andrew Pollard, former Director of the UK's Teaching and Learning Research Programme, with the advice of primary and secondary specialists from the University of Cambridge.

Readings for Reflective Teaching in Schools is part of a set of professional resources. It links directly to the textbook, Reflective Teaching in Schools, and to the website, reflectiveteaching.co.uk. A fully integrated and complementary range of resources is thus offered for both primary and secondary schools.

Reflective Teaching in Schools focuses on how to achieve high-quality teaching and learning. It presents key issues and research insights, suggests reflective activities for classroom enquiry, and offers guidance on further study. By design, it offers both practical support for effective classroom practice and routes towards deeper forms of expertise. It has supported teachers' professional development in the UK and beyond for over 25 years.

The website, reflectiveteaching.co.uk, offers supplementary resources including reflective activities, research briefings, advice on further reading and additional chapters.
