This is more than just a book about learning theories, it shows new and trainee teachers how to use theory to improve their teaching and to help students learn more every day.

This book addresses the nature of subject knowledge in all foundation curriculum subjects. It deconstructs the elements of each subject through an exploration of the nature of the subject, a coverage of the 'skills' a study of this subject develops and through detailed analysis of case studies from practice.

This text is an introduction to learning and teaching in the post compulsory sector, going further than other texts in its exploration of the sector.

Based on action research which has been implemented in a primary school, this book emphasises not just mental health needs, but also the importance of creating a culture of inclusion for all pupils.
