Its authentic voice draws upon practical examples, theory and humour (an essential attribute for all teachers!) in order to explore key topics including working effectively with colleagues and managing a teacher workload. Each chapter offers a problem activity to stimulate beginning teachers, and indeed their school-based mentors, to engage in reflection and professional dialogue around issues important for successful learning."Dr Angela Gault, Head of Education Partnerships, University of Wolverhampton, UK

"Nutrition For Dummies" is for anyone who cares about what they eat, and wants to know about the facts, not the fads.
