Produktbeschreibung

This handbook offers a programme to enhance teachers' confidence in engaging their children in effective group work which allows for more active participation, more on-task focus and higher levels of achievement. Packed with valuable strategies for teachers and fun activities for children, it offers guidance on how to create an inclusive and supportive classroom by developing the social, communicative and group working skills of all pupils. Tried-and-tested, step-by-step approaches encourage both children and their teachers to develop supportive relationships that have been found to facilitate academic performance, positive social behaviour and motivation.
