An Outline of Principles and Practice

Robert Fisher “The teaching of thinking as a basis for the curriculum in schools has suddenly come of age, in no small part due to the pioneering work of those like Robert Fisher. The revised and updated version of his classic text is just about the best introduction to the area that I know. In particular, his masterful description of how philosophy for children can transform our schools should be required reading on all teacher education courses and by anyone interested in discovering ways in which education for enlightenment can be achieved.” Bob Burden, Emeritus Professor of Applied Educational Psychology, University of Exeter, UK This new edition includes:

L.B. Curzon & Jonathan Tummons “Tummons is to be praised for maintaining the depth and subtlety of Curzon’s original work while bringing it up-to-date with relevant examples and recent references. Where other books mislead through oversimplification, Teaching in Further Education clearly explains complex concepts so that new teachers can better understand their context and develop their practice.” Kevin Orr, Senior Lecturer in Education, University of Huddersfield, UK Topics included in this updated edition include: - Theories of learning

- Material on the latest trends in teaching thinking, including philosophy for children, dialogic teaching and education for citizenship

- The teaching-learning process

- Boxed features to encourage critical engagement and reflection, within the context of current policy and practice

- Assessment and evaluation
