Teaching design and technology at Key Stages 1 and 2

Many primary, non-specialist trainees lack confidence in design and technology, and Ofsted continues to identify weaknesses in this subject.

Linked to the new 2007 Standards for QTS and the DATA Tier 1 competences, this book is for students who receive less than 20 hours training in design and technology but who are required to teach this difficult subject during school placements and once qualified.

This clear, jargon-free text explains the key concepts and curriculum requirements, without assuming prior expertise or advanced levels of understanding, making this book a sound basic introduction.
