How do Expert Primary Classteachers Really Work? offers an insight
into the rewarding role of the Expert Primary Practitioner. It
explores the challenges and asks important questions such as: ‘Can
expertise be assessed in one lesson?’, ‘Does teaching expertise
vary between cultures?’ and ‘Can one separate one’s beliefs about
expertise from those about education?’ A very thought provoking
read which explores the key areas of teacher expertise in great
detail. It investigates how primary classteachers with a high level
of expertise act and think. The text offers many layers of
insight in regard to a primary teacher’s role and the needed
expertise to be the best you can be. The text is an extremely
helpful read for teachers, headteachers and teacher educators and
perhaps even more advanced teacher trainees who are keen to deepen
their knowledge and understanding.
