This is an essential text for all primary trainees, covering the fundamental issues for learning and teaching in primary schools today. It motivates and challenges trainees at the same time as guiding them through the Standards for the Award of QTS. Chapters explore the major themes in teacher education, such as behaviour, communication and creativity, encouraging reflection on key questions and professional dilemmas. In addition, two key chapters provide specific advice to help trainees interpret and fully understand the standards, with strategies for successfully implementing them and demonstrating how each of the standards can be met.

"An excellent book which is easy to follow and contains all the essential knowledge needed to become a primary teacher." (Lecturer, Bangor University.)
An excellent "go to" book with chapters covering key areas. The case studies, practical and reflective tasks are perfect to aid understanding.

A good resource book to have at hand in the University College library. Hayes offers such good common sense in everything he says that students new to the idea of learning and teaching can confidently springboard from this text into many others.
