Tanya, Martin Thrupp and Jane Abbiss edited the third edition of this great book to support teaching in the Aotearoa New Zealand context. Of particular interest will be Chapter 3: Understanding Pacific Learners (Tanya Wendt Samu and Alexis Siteine).
The Professional Practice of Teaching in Aotearoa New Zealand contains a wealth of information that beginning and more experienced teachers need to know in order to learn to teach well. Written specifically for the New Zealand setting, it highlights a range of knowledges and skills that teachers require in order to make a positive difference to their students’ lives. Throughout the text, many case studies, activities and stories from real-life teachers and students help readers to link the theory to their classroom practices. This wholly New Zealand text has been developed over many years to reflect the local educational environment. Examples from all levels of teaching ensure the text is relevant for teachers across a range of school settings. Instructor resources include Instructor’s Guide, instructor activity resources, PowerPoints and artwork.
