Conducted in two locations Leicester and Durham the study explores what "interactive teaching" is in primary classrooms, how teachers and children interact effectively, and possible benefits to both teaching and learning. For academics, researchers, teacher educators, policymakers, and primary school teachers. Distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
