Getting it Right in Reception

by Neil Farme (Featherstone Education, £18.99)

Reception is a stage and age in its own right. Neil Farmer draws upon his experience of working with and supporting schools and leaders up and down the country and abroad, and putting forward strategies that will assist teachers in gaining an ownership of their classroom. Covers the revised common inspection framework, with sections on British values and school readiness, routines and leading an effective class, with help on how to use and analyse data on everything from quality of interactions to quality of information sharing.
