This invaluable guide is designed for all trainees working towards Qualified Teacher Status. Covering essential skills of planning, monitoring and assessment and class management, it relates these specifically to primary science teaching. This new, third edition has been completely revised to reflect the latest QTS Standards, Primary National Strategy and other initiatives. Popular, existing features are joined by new reflective tasks and "Moving On" sections, helping trainees build on each chapter and apply their understanding to whole-class issues and longer-term scenarios. New material, for example on children?s talk and engagement, has been added to bring the text fully up-to-date.

Shirley Simon is Lecturer in the School of Education at King's College, London. I was appointed Lecturer in Sociology in 2012. I am currently PhD Programme Co-ordinator and convenor of three undergraduate modules. My research and teaching is concerned with the everyday life of urban public spaces. I am interested in, and encourage students to take an interest in, both the street-level politics of city life and the mundane accomplishment of mobility practices and interaction. These themes have been addressed through research on everyday sense-making in regenerated space, practices of street-based welfare and vulnerable urban groups and, most recently, an investigation of co-operative mobility practices. I also have an abiding interest in social science methodology as a topic of inquiry.
