Supporting Teaching and Learning

Covering the full range of themes and issues relevant to teaching/classroom assistants studying on a foundation degree course, this edited collection explores the relationship between practical educational ideas and current academic debate necessary to develop an academic understanding of the issues. With a heavy emphasis on developing both effective study skills and "reflective" thinking skills, this book: covers issues relevant to all age ranges so students can transfer this knowledge to their own educational settings; provides specific guidance for assistants supporting bilingual learners; helps students develop skills in guidance, counselling, child protection and behaviour management; offers detailed advice on organising and managing a voluntary club; and includes practical activities for "Developing Study Skills", discussion points and boxes to help "Reflect on Practice".
