There is no doubt that teaching is becoming an increasingly complex task. As such the issue of management is of increasing importance for all teachers.

Managing Primary Classrooms recognises the central importance of the classroom teacher and provides a detailed account of good management principles. It identifies key areas in the organisation of classrooms and suggests ways in which they might be improved. It covers:

• the changing pressures on teachers
• planning for learning
• assessment, recording and reporting
• managing pupil behaviour
• managing the classroom environment
• managing classroom resources to support learning
• classroom self review
• avoiding stress.

Contributed to by a team of experienced practitioners in the field of primary education, Managing Primary Classrooms is a key text for all primary teachers, heads and deputies as well as inspectors, advisers and students in teacher training.
