Biography
Denis Hayes was Professor of Primary Education at the University of Plymouth. He has extensive experiences as a primary teacher, deputy head, head teacher, teacher trainer, academic and researcher.
'Those of us particularly concerned with the English Curriculum will find the entries on 'creative writing', 'stories' and 'phonics' of interest. The attention to affective aspects of children's development - to feelings and relationships - also appeals and is particularly evident in entries on 'awe and wonder', 'curiosity' and 'trust.' - English 4-11 Summer 2010
