2. Creating a Positive Learning Environment: The Savvy Teacher

This book studies four areas of classroom management — Proactive, Interactive, Restorative and Supportive.

4. Education, Change and Society

The study of education may help us understand how individuals learn and how teachers should teach, but it can also help us understand what is valued in that society, and how ‘winners and losers’ are created. This book will help education students appreciate how the Australian system has been shaped over time and how this has impacted on current institutions and policies.
