 TEACHING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE by Peter Cole and Lorna Chan is about how to teach. Relevant for all subjects at all levels, including pre-school, primary, secondary and technical colleges, it offers specific guidelines about how to succeed as a teacher in the classroom. Among its many features the book offers: • A comprehensive analysis of the teacher's role, dealing in a non-technical manner with all major aspects of teaching. • A comprehensive set of principles that provide valuable guidelines for nine major teaching practices, based on practical classroom experience and recent research evidence. Teaching practices covered are: classroom communication, planning and preparation, explanation and demonstration, questioning, assigning work tasks, classroom management, motivation and reinforcement, feedback and correctives, assessment and evaluation. • A checklist based on each teaching practice to allow for evaluation of teacher effectiveness. • Numerous examples drawn from a range of educational settings, levels and subject areas.
