Developing A Leadership Role Within The Key Stage 2 Curriculum: A Handbook For Students And Newly Qualified Teachers / Edition 1

by Mike Harrison

Overview

Since 1989 initial teacher training courses in England and Wales have included teacher preparation for taking a lead in a school subject area in their first appointment.

A teacher must have specific specialist knowledge and expertise in particular subjects which must be shared with all staff.; This text contains the latest curriculum and assessment changes. It aims to help students and newly qualified teachers to understand the complexities of being a co-ordinator of a National Curriculum subject in Key Stage 2 and reports on best practice.
