WraggThis book is one of a set of eight innovative yet practical resource books for teachers, focussing on the classroom and covering vital skills for primary and secondary teachers.

One former third grade teacher (T) and one of her former students (S) participated in this study. A phenomenological case study design was used. T and S were interviewed using a semi-structured interview protocol. The research question that drove the present study was: What are the impacts of a gifted reading curriculum on students within a gifted cluster inside a regular classroom?

They were: 1) social and affective outcomes, 2) bidirectional motivation for deep learning and exploration, and 3) obstacles to implementation.Item Change in classroom practice(Taylor & Francis, 1994) Farrow, Steve; Norton, Jerry; Editors: Hilary Constable, Jerry Norton, Steve FarrowOver the last ten years, deliberate and determined efforts have been made to improve schooling.

The articles collected by Allan Walker and Clive Dimmock detail the educational practices and outcomes of other systems while taking into account the mediating influence of culture. In this way, these essays stress the specific aspects of the cultures studied, and map out common ground for the study of administrators' values, beliefs, and actions.Item Learning to teach in the secondary school(RoutledgeFalmer, 2001)This very practical text is a revised edition of this highly successful book.
