[It] will be an invaluable resource for all those who need to understand the complex reforms, new standards and teaching developments affecting post-compulsory education... an accessible, well-informed volume that is essential reading for teachers in the sector." - Dr. Jill Jameson, Director of Research and Enterprise, School of Education and Training, The University of Greenwich, April 2008
Dr Jill Jameson, Director of Research and Enterprise, School of Education and Training, The University of Greenwich "Fred Fawbert's revised edition manages to combine a theoretical approach to teaching and learning with ample examples and activities from practice. The expertise of the contributing practitioners is wide-ranging, and a feature of this book is that readers are invited to assess suggested solutions and development points in the light of their own setting. Self-directed study is encouraged by the inclusion of excellent annotated lists of ‘Useful Publications' and ‘Useful Websites'. If you are embarking on a QTLS this book and its companion website will prove an invaluable source of information." - Dr. Angela Steward, Education Studies, City College Norwich
Dr Angela Steward, Education Studies, City College Norwich Mention -Book News, November 2008 '...two excellent features of the book are: suggested activities, many of which are imaginative and challenging...and the drawing together of a range of theories to inform thinking about and the practice of teaching to develop general principles.' - Studies in Higher Education, vol.30, no.1, February 2005
Blurb from reviewer
'...very much structured as a teaching text, with each chapter opening with key concepts, followed by readings and activities very much in the style of university module material in Australia. ...very much a study guide, particularly relevant to contemporary Britain. Having said that, the topics covered are of interest to any beginning teacher in the post-compulsory sector...' - Annette Green, Charles Stuart University, NSW, Australia, Journal of Higher Eucation Policy and Management, vol. 27, no. 1, March 2005
