Cross-Curricular Learning 3-14 by Jonathan Barnes

This second edition of Cross-curricular learning 3-14 explores the key practical and theoretical issues underpinning cross-curricular teaching and learning. Using an accessible research-informed approach strongly rooted in the realities of teaching it introduces the scientific and educational evidence supporting the introduction of cross-curricular approaches alongside techniques to put the theories into practice, including important preparatory aspects such as planning and assessment. Revised and updated to reflect current curriculum policy and contemporary research, this second edition includes: - an overview of current curriculum developments, and the implications for cross-curricular approaches - updated coverage of cross-curricular planning and best practice - a range of new case studies across the 3-14 age range exploring the practical application of cross-curricular and creative approaches to teaching - expanded coverage of sociological and social psychological theories of learning. This book is essential reading for students on teacher education courses across the 3-14 age range, and practising teachers considering cross-curricular approaches to learning.

′Although Barnes shows how the principles for cross-curricular learning are based on research it is a very practical book..This book would be a very valuable source of ideas for discussions with the teaching staff′
-Dennis Fox (Nottinghamshire Association of Governors), Governing Matters

′Inspiring, engaging and thought provoking, this book represents a rich professional resource for principled and reflective educators who want to develop a holistic, values centred approach to learning. Packed with creative examples and young people’s voices as well as intriguing visuals, this highly accessible yet scholarly text is a real gem′ -
Teresa Cremin, Professor of Education,
The Open University

′Barnes gives an overview of educational policies that refer to cross-curricular learning. In this new edition, this chapter has been enriched immensely by incorporating recent reports, such as the Rose and Alexander reviews...another one of the many strong features of this book (and why it would be enormously suitable for Teacher Trainees and CPD working parties) are the ′Key questions for discussion′′
-Rene Koglbauer, Learning and Teaching Update
