Recenzje

'Although there have been significant changes in schools across the world since the last publication, I believe the revised edition will be of considerable use not only to those aspiring to be outstanding teachers but to all teachers and senior leaders seeking to make the best possible provision for their students.'

'This is a well -respected work from an experienced educator and author, which is widely used on ITE and Education Studies courses. A new updated edition will be welcomed by course providers and students. Indications are that there is likely to be a growth in numbers on ITE courses resulting from the impact of COVID 19 on the economy and numbers on Education Studies courses continue to grow. The book also has wide international appeal.'

'this book will appeal to practitioners and trainees alike... every teacher wants to be the best they can be and money for CPD courses is limited so any resources which support teacher development are welcomed'

'I agree with the author's assessment of the need for an update to the 2^nd edition of his book. Enough has changed, in UK education, since 2015, that an update would be beneficial, even if the fundamental structure and the content of the book remain unchanged.'

'The educational landscape has shifted over the last few years and this proposal puts the book's contents into a more modern framework. Language has also changed in education and terms used here are more up to date. Contemporary trends such as blended learning and entrepreneurial competences are incorporated, which should make the book relevant and easily usable for teachers.'
