Teaching Children 3-11
A Student's Guide

Third Edition
Edited by:


November 2011 | 368 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
Focusing on the major topics underpinning professional studies strands in primary and early years teacher education, Teaching Children Three-Eleven provides indispensable coverage of vital practical and conceptual issues that support good teaching practice.

This Third Edition of the popular textbook has been carefully revised, following detailed lecturer feedback, to meet the evolving needs of students training to teach across the three to eleven age range.

Featuring four new chapters on curriculum development, cross-curricular teaching, diversity and inclusion, and communication in the classroom, and engaging with the growing need for Master's-level study in teacher education, the new edition offers a balanced contemporary overview of modern teaching practice in an engaging and accessible manner.

This is essential reading for all students on primary and early years initial teacher education courses including undergraduate (BEd, BA with QTS), postgraduate (PGCE, SCITT), and employment-based routes into teaching. It will also be invaluable for those starting out on their professional careers.

Your First Teaching Post

'Teaching Children 3 - 11: A Student's Guide is a great overview guide to the most important elements that you need to know about for teaching in the Primary and Early Years phase. It's an easy to read starter text with well thought through references to other work so that the reader is guided through the plethora of literature'
- Sara Bubb


'This book has something for all students, combining theory with useful, practical advice. Issues I know students often find challenging, such as behaviour management, making the most of the tutor's visit and working with other adults are all included... a worthwhile investment for students on any ITT course'

A very useful guide for students on placement. I recommend this book to levels 4, 5 and 6 on our BA (hons) Childhood studies course as it promotes reflective practice. There are short, activities/summaries/issues for reflection that help the students to focus upon the important aspect of classroom practice.
