Product Description
This innovative new book suggests that the way in which children are asked to work in primary classrooms has a significant and generally unrecognised influence on their attention and learning. The book looks at the current practice of seating young children in groups around tables and then explains the evidence, which shows that this widely accepted practice makes learning unnecessarily difficult for most of the time. It includes many case studies of teachers who have developed ways of using classroom seating to better effect, thus offering realistic alternatives and encouragement to innovate.
