Each chapter in the book is designed to provide a springboard to help teachers expand their pedagogical skills. They are designed to be used both as independent reading for both teachers and professional development personnel but also as a focus for shared professional development experiences. They will be an invaluable resource for both.Dr Judith Rink, Emeritus Professor, University of South Carolina, USAOverall, this is an insightful and comprehensive book that suits CPD providers of in-service teacher training and in-service teachers. Although the topics were drawn from Singapore’s educational context, the practices are applicable worldwide as they are guided by good practices globally. Hence, I strongly recommend you have a read!Koh Koon Teck, Head, Physical Education & Sports Science, National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
