Primary Teaching 3/e
Learning and teaching in primary schools today
By Catherine Carden
Primary teaching is challenging and rewarding in equal measure. Schools are diverse and ever-changing communities where children and teachers learn alongside each other.
When learning to teach, practical experience in the classroom is essential, as is learning from others and being able to reflect on your own learning and performance. Equally important is the ability to critically evaluate learning and teaching and to look at current practice in schools and in the UK and to question it.
In fact, in teacher training, the questions are just as important as the answers: What is teaching? How do children learn? What is pedagogy? Does curriculum really matter? Should teachers 'manage' behaviour? How do I support children with SEND? What can AI tools do for teachers?
This core text from Learning Matters tackles these questions and more. It poses questions to encourage a re-thinking of the world of schools and learning.
It challenges trainee teachers to ask why, to engage with research and to reflect on their own practice and the practice in their placement schools. Primary Teaching is a core text for trainee teachers.

School Isn't for Everyone (and what you can do instead)
A Practical Neuro -affirming Guide to Unschooling
By Heidi Steel, Naomi Fisher, Becky Whinnerah
Key Sales Points:
A practical and welcoming guide to unschooling, featuring case studies from parents and exercises to help you adapt theory to practice.
Unschooling, a learner-centred educational philosophy, breaks away from the confines of traditional schooling, advocating for a more organic, child-centric approach. Its essence lies in the belief that learning is a natural and lifelong process. It is cemented in the fact that children are innately curious and capable of directing their own education when provided with a nurturing and resource-rich environment.
This book delves into the principles of unschooling, providing insights into its benefits, challenges, and practical application. School Isn't For Everyone shows what is possible when you leave school behind and start living a life of learning. It discusses the principles that form this educational philosophy, explains how unschooling works, sets out what the parents' role is and explores what children do all day when they don't follow a curriculum. It draws on current theory and evidence whilst sharing practical tips and being grounded in the reality of day-today life with children. It does this by including interviews with unschooling families, exercises for parents to help reinforce ideas, listing key points in every chapter and including diagrams to illustrate the concepts being explored.
Whether you are a parent looking for alternatives to school, are already home educating and exploring the possibilities, have found yourself unexpectedly unschooling or are certain that this is the route for you, this book serves as a guide to both understanding and implementing the core principles, taking you on a journey from schooled to unschooled and releasing you and your child into a life full of learning.

Sheep Shape
By Adele Tariel, Oksana Bula
Chip is a sheep. As you certainly know, sheep grow wool. Lucky coincidence, because Chip loves wool.
This year, he's made a decision: no shearing for him. He is going to escape.
It's shearing day at the farm, but Chip loves his warm, cozy wool too much! So he ventures out into the wilderness, determined to explore and see the world.
The other sheep don't understand-why would Chip leave the safety of the flock? Isn't he comfortable following, like everyone else?
He'll look ridiculous if he doesn't get sheared, and doesn't he know there are wolves in the mountains?
But Chip doesn't care! Destiny calls! He has big dreams: places to see, and things to do. He wants to have experiences and let his wool grow big!
And maybe eventually, one of those experiences will be coming back home.
Included is a reader's note for adults on talking to children about independence, individuality, risk-taking, and resilience. Even a temporary experience can be a meaningful one.

As You Are A Hope for Black Sons
By Kimberly A. Gordon Biddle, David Wilkerson
Will the world keep its smile and say you're worthy, as a boy, as a teen, as a man?
Will the world greet you kindly morning and night, as you let go of my hand?
I can't control what the world will do, my child, so remember these words I say to you. Every Black mother wishes the world could see her son as she sees him.
All too soon, it seems to forget the innocent child she has known and loved since before his birth.
To prepare him as he's about to take on the world, a mother shares her heartfelt wisdom that she hopes her child carries with him always-to embrace the world when it is kind, to know that he is worthy when the world is not, and to remember that her love will never waver.
Accompanied by rich illustrations, this is a moving and insightful guide to growing up as a Black boy.
Included is a note from the author, who has a background in psychology, that discusses starting all-too -necessary conversations.
