Editorial Reviews

From reviews of the first edition:'The authors combine the virtues of good stimulating lecturing with obvious recent firsthand experience of classrooms ... every school would benefit from a copy ... good value for a student or probationer teacher - to derive comfort, common sense, new ideas and explanations, support, and a sense of proportion.' - Education

'For the supportive and yet challenging stance on which this book is based it would get a vote for Birmingham from me every time.' - Therapeutic Care and Education

(2nd Ed)'This is a very readable book that should be recommended reading for all members of staff. ..it is a very useful addition to the teacher's library and particularly helpful to the newly qualified teacher and those who are mentoring those teachers.' - Managing Schools Today
