An explanation of the different types and patterns of questions primary teachers should ask and offers useful practical exercises to enable both experienced and trainee teachers to improve their own and others' questioning skills.

Wragg and Brown offer activities and discussion points to help teachers build up a repertoire of techniques for various situations and to evaluate the effectiveness of their explanations in the classroom.

Ted Wragg helps teachers to clarify their own aims and to find the strategies which will work for them. Topics covered include first encounter, the establishment of rules and relationships, time management and specific discipline problems.

This is an innovative yet practical resource book for teachers, focusing on the classroom and covering vital skills for primary and secondary teachers. The book is strongly influenced by the findings of numerous research projects during which hundreds of teachers were observed at work. This book addresses both formal and informal ways of assessing children's work and progress. Pupils' learning is often neglected in the debate, so this book puts what children actually learn right at its centre. Divided into six units, Ted Wragg addresses important topics such as: * principles and purposes of assessment * written, oral and practical evaluation * self-assessment the 'whole school' approach * staff development and appraisal. The inclusion of practical activities, discussion topics, photographs, cartoons and case examples makes this a very user-friendly book for both trainee and experienced teachers in primary schools.
