Tactical Teaching
Teacher Resource Books

Tactical Teaching: is a series of three non-sequential, intensive, highly practical workshops of 2 hours duration, either in Speaking and Listening or Thinking. These are intended to help learning area teachers in middle and high school settings maximise the use of speaking and listening, or thinking in the teaching and learning of curriculum material. The resource is based on the belief that teachers need to make decisions about what to teach (the learning area), to whom (which students), and how (the most effective way) to teach. The heart of Tactical Teaching: Speaking and Listening is about the most powerful ways of helping students construct their understandings through effective speaking and listening.

The following Tactical Teaching teacher resource books are available.
