Books by John (Monash University Loughran

An account of the return to teaching for a year by the author - a teacher educator and educational researcher. He returned to practice what he had taught student teachers but was often met by difficult unforseen pupil behaviour. The text describes how the classroom situations were played out.

Argues that teachers' knowledge of what they do is largely tacit and often misunderstood. This book distils the essence of professional practice for classroom teachers who want to become really accomplished practitioners.
