Reflective Learning and Teaching in Primary Schools

Trainee teachers are expected to demonstrate reflective practice in many ways throughout their course. This text provides the support, enabling them to demonstrate their ability to be meaningfully reflective. It gives trainees guidance on how to encourage children to be reflective in their learning and how to be analytical with regards to their own practice, ultimately improving learning and teaching. It includes chapters on lesson study and reflective journals and considers children’s voice and coaching as tools for reflection. Features case studies and interactive activities throughout, helping the reader link theory to practice.
