The role of Theories in education

It's a new week for new teachers. By now you will be grappling with these questions as you try to get your feet on the ground in the classroom:

How do children learn? What are the established Theories of teaching and learning? What role do these Theories play in the classroom?

In the New Teacher Guide, we explore these questions so that you can begin to be 'a teacher', because we believe that teaching is a 'real profession', not a technical exercise where you use shortcuts to solve contingent problems.
