There is increasing pressure on students training to be primary teachers to develop their subject expertise and classroom competence in a short space of time. All students on primary initial teacher training programmes must meet the requirements of the Circular 4/98, Teaching: High Status, High Standards (DFEE, 1998), relating to science subject knowledge and subject application. Lynn Newton guides students through what they need to know, using clear explanations and drawing on students own knowledge of science.
Meeting the Standards in Primary Science provides:
the pedagogical knowledge needed to teach science in primary schools;
chapters explicitly linked to blocks of curriculum requirements;
support activities for work in schools and self-study;
information on professional development for primary teachers.
