Since its publication in 1984, the first edition of Organising Learning in the Primary School Classroom has been recognised as an indispensable guide for primary school teachers in their quest for more effective practice in the classroom. It gives help on everyday problems of classroom organisation: how to group children, how to set out a classroom physically, how to make the most efficient use of time and resources. Throughout, the aim is to get teachers and student-teachers to analyse their own classrooms and to produce solutions that will work for them. This second edition retains these strengths, but has been completely revised to take account of recent thinking in education and of the new situation created by the National Curriculum with its associated assessment. The sections on curriculum content and especially the teaching of science have been expanded and the very useful guidance on topic work now looks at the implications of the National Curriculum for this method of teaching.

Praise for previous editions:
'This is an excellent book for teachers and essential reading for anyone who works in primary classrooms.' - Perspective
'[Joan Dean's] considerable ability to absorb ideas, analyse and organise the information lead to a clear exposition. Add to that her preference for plain language and it is no surprise, though it is a pleasure, that the book is so readable.' - Education Today
