• How does it influence classroom management, methodological approaches, and curriculum?
• Which theorists most align with my identity as a primary school teacher?In writing the assignment:
• Be critical and analytical in your approach, support your work with reference to relevant theorists and literature.
• Justify the statements you make; this can be facilitated through careful and considered critique of your own arguments.
• Provide the reader with insight into how you reached your conclusions, through a logical, coherent and cohesive approach to the assignment
