Ros Clow is Chair of the Post-16 Committee of the Universities Council for the Education of Teachers (UCET) and Senior Teacher in Post Compulsory Education at Oxford Brookes University, UK.  Trevor Dawn is a former Senior Teacher in Education at Oxford Brookes University, UK.

"Ros Clow has done something quite remarkable. The senior teacher in Post compulsory education at Oxford Brookes University, has co-written a book about classroom teaching methods which, apart from being a first-class textbook, is also eminently readable. To get a good introduction to the ethos of FE you'd be well advised to read this book." Fred Redwood, Newbury Weekly News
