Recensioner i media

'This is not a book that Chris Woodhead will read.' - The Teacher'... so well written that the reader is left wanting more ... an invaluable, lucid and comprehensive guide to the key issues for teachers,' - The Teacher'... offers a clear overview of recent government policy and the bewildering number of initiatives that shape current thinking about the professional development of teachers ... to gain a fuller understanding of the theories that inform goverment policy, this book would be illuminating.' - Gill Murray, Escalate
