Over the past two years, the Primary Education Voices podcast has welcomed dozens of inspirational educators with a variety of roles across primary education to share what they are passionate about. This book gives some of these educators the chance to discuss their ideas, research and reflections in a more in-depth manner to help the reader reflect more deeply about their own practice.
This publication is a collation of writing of incredible philosophies, resources and ideas from primary practitioners, for primary practitioners. Engaging chapters cover a wide range of topics for the contributors of this book to share: from developing the right ethos and culture in your school or classroom, to considering how to make your curriculum more rich and inclusive, to considering how to look after your own well-being and vitality in the role of a primary educator. Within each chapter, you will hear from a number of contributors and be given the space to reflect on what they have shared, along with some thought-provoking questions to prompt you on how to adapt and refine your practice.
These ideas and insights will be essential to all who work within the primary sector including trainees, early career teachers and middle and senior leaders, as well as all those who support and consult with these individuals who seek to change and improve their practice.
