Teaching Design and Technology 3 - 11 cover

′Douglas Newton′s Teaching Design and Technology gives encouragement to creativity in younger pupils. Aimed at ages 3-11, it contains a variety of suggestions for activities providing more than just a collection of ideas, there are many suggestions that might help children plan and work towards quality products′ - The Times Educational Supplement

′An excellent book which is both thought-provoking and extremely practical. The philosophy and history behind D&T is enlightening and very entertaining, whilst the numerous ideas for practical activities make it a ′pick up and use′ book. Unusually, it provides a wide range of activities for children as young as 3 up to 11 years of age, and detailed lesson plans demonstrate how they can be presented in class. The problem-solving approach taken by this book supports views on ′best practice′ as described in the government publication ′Excellence and Enjoyment′. As the focus in education is on developing a more creative curriculum, this book is a must for both experienced teachers and students alike′ - Linda Johnston, Head at Sedgefield Hardwick Primary
