The first part of this book charts and analyzes the working days of 326 primary school teachers. It shows how they spent their working lives, the nature of the curriculum they taught, and analyzes their work into five main categories: Teaching, Preparation, Administration, Professional Development and Other Activities. The second part comments on the findings by relating them to issues of school management and curriculum manageability and looks at how the idea of "conscientiousness" among primary school teachers may have led to their exploitation.
Optimizing Teaching and Learning will serve as a practical guide for anyone, anywhere, who is interested in improving their teaching, the learning of their students, and correspondingly, contribute to the scholarship of teaching and learning.
Academic teachers face a range of competing pressures and tasks as part of their professional lives. In this context, we believe that there is room for teachers to consider approaches that provide simple ideas for enhancing competence, reducing stress, increasing enjoyment and for helping them to teach with pleasure and satisfaction.
This book contains a collection of advice that we hope will provide practical, thoughtful and actionable ideas to support your teaching. The strategies and tactics that are presented together provide a positive, empowered approach to teaching at university and college.
