I really like this little book that is packed with tips for effective lesson planning. The examples are really useful. I appreciate the links to theory and the references for all the theories which are listed in the end. - Heather Booth-Martin, Craven Collegethey are fab little books....They are well laid out, straight forward to read with good diagrams and case studies. - Jo Lutas, Isle of Wight College
