Recenzje

‘This is a book that turns the learning ambition into reality in the classroom. The teacher is provided with clearly explained strategies that will engage children in their learning and take thinking and understanding to new levels. Every staffroom needs a copy.’

Professor Mick Waters

‘I have worked with Patrice Baldwin, I have taken part in her workshops and I’ve heard her share her strategies and insights on how it’s possible to engage every child in every classroom. Every encounter with Patrice has been brilliant, energising and thought-provoking. I am so glad she has written this book. It’s an invitation to take the children in our classrooms to places of deep learning and it’s an absolute boon to the sector.’
