Tackling these elusive but fundamental aspects of children's development, this text places the importance of spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding in a cross-curricular context. It makes direct links between children's attainment and the wider aspects of personal development, beliefs and values, explaining the environment in which learning flourishes. Further, it helps enrich the trainee teacher's experience, laying firm foundations for their continuing professional development.
