Bookshelf >> Education >> Thought and Practice

Teaching practices have changed over the years. No longer is chalk and talk “fashionable”. New methods are being introduced in the teacher education programmes and in in-service trainings. An unquestioning acceptance of these methods cannot deal to better practice. Teachers need to evolve their own strategies and find practical solutions to issues they encounter in their classrooms. Books in this section can aid teachers to re-look at themselves, their children and their teaching.
