A book for primary teachers and those training to teach in primary schools on how to develop positive socially-aware teaching that offers deep learning across different curriculum subjects.
This book offers a positive approach to thematic cross-curricular teaching. Within a clear focus on humanitarian and inclusive values, it offers guidance on robust learning in the subject disciplines within a set of highly involving themes. Its fundamental aim is the mental, physical, social and intellectual wellbeing of children and their teachers.
