"Teaching values can be a delicate
undertaking. We all have different values, and we all express our values in
different ways. The importance that we place on particular values changes
as we change."
"Teaching values
helps tease out the implied and the explicit. It leads teachers and
their classes through an exploration of the commonality of values, and the
varied ways in which we see those values in our daily lives." |

"If you though reading
Gervaise Phinn was like drinking a warm cup of tea, this book will knock
you over with the force of a vodka slammer. Mr Read survives the
nightmare of planning, Ofsted and an incompetent head ... He also takes
the class to Ireland, the House of Commons and wins a film award.
We guarantee Christmas Lights, The School Trip and Stressbusters will
make you laugh out loud. A searing indictment of our joyless,
exam-ridden primary curriculum ..."
"Down-to-earth and outrageously funny,
this guide will prove essential reading for teachers everywhere."
