Teaching Design and Technology 3 - 11 by Douglas Newton

Newtons succinct guide to teaching design and technology uses ideas that have been road-tested and developed over his many years of teaching and of training student teachers and practitioners.

A very practical book, which focuses on sound advice from an expert in D&T education.. Here you will find a wealth of ideas for putting into practice.

What shines through is the depth of experience that Newton brings to the work... This is an invaluable resource for any primary school and deserves to be widely read. I have no doubt that teachers will rate it highly′ - Primary Science Review

`An excellent book which is both thought-provoking and extremely practical. The philosophy and history behind D&T is enlightening and very entertaining, whilst the numerous ideas for practical activities make it a ‘pick up and use’ book. Unusually, it provides a wide range of activities for children as young as 3 up to 11 years of age, and detailed lesson plans demonstrate how they can be presented in class. The problem-solving approach taken by this book supports views on ‘best practice’ as described in the government publication ‘Excellence and Enjoyment’. As the focus in education is on developing a more creative curriculum, this book is a must for both experienced teachers and students alike′ - Linda Johnston, Head at Sedgefield Hardwick Primary

′This book is packed full of sound advice and good ideas interlaced with the essence of what Design and Technology in primary schools should be′ - David Jinks, Jerwood Laureate

′This very readable book gives a wealth of simple interesting examples of technological development that will be appreciated by children throughout the primary school... Very practical general teaching advice is given throughout... a valuable resource for trainees and teachers who lack experience in this subject′ - Journal of Education for Teaching

Doug Newton taught in school for more than two decades before training teachers at Newcastle University where he is a professor. He is an inventor himself and has written several very successful books on science and technology education and has received awards for his work. He is also a Professorial Fellow at Durham University where he contributes to the science and technology training of undergraduate and postgraduate trainee teachers. His research is largely to do with strategies that support understanding, particularly in connection with learning science and technology. Professor Newton′s numerous publications have attracted a world-wide readership and have been translated into other languages.
