Creating the Conditions for Teaching and Learning : A Handbook of Staff Development Activities

First Published in 2001. This handbook, arising out of IQEA project (Improving the Quality of Education for All), focuses on a basic repertoire of teaching and learning strategies and a series of activities designed to help teachers extend and deepen their range of teaching skills. The authors set out for CPD tutors ways of bringing research evidence and critical self-reflection to bear on practice, in the pursuit of confident teaching and effective learning. The goal is to locate and unleash the full potential of individual teachers through evidence, selection and variety, rather than to impose pre-determined notions or models of teaching and learning, regardless of the relevance to particular groups of students and their teachers.
