How do exemplary teachers `reach' students, and how do they know when they have? How can other teachers develop the skills and awareness necessary to become exemplary teachers? Vivienne Collinson addresses these questions and provides detailed information on successful practical strategies. She also illustrates the influence of teachers' beliefs on how they structure the physical, intellectual and social culture of their classrooms. The book links theory and classroom practice to increase understanding of the role of intrapersonal and interpersonal knowledge and skills in teaching and learning.
