"Glazzard, Denby and Price provide beginning teachers with a truly engaging introduction to thinking and learning about the art of teaching. 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
