Meeting The Challenges of Primary Schooling

Teachers in primary schools deal with a wide range of issues every day. This book helps teachers to understand those issues, and how they fit in with recent government policies and initiatives.

Each chapter looks at:

* relevant statements of policy or initiative

* how these statements fit into the context of specific schools

* the challenges they present for those involved in schools

* how schools can respond to these challenges

* learning across contexts

Each chapter has been written by one practitioner and one academic and between them the chapters cover the whole range of Australian primary schools.
