Recent Product Reviews:

Reflective practice is an essential skill for trainee teachers but quite challenging for anyone new to it. This book is very readable and comprehensive and a great introduction for students on ITE courses.
Ms Madeleine Loxton, Education, Stanmore College
We have recommended this publication again for students on the Fd programmes, in Early Years and Educational Practice. The text is clear and develops a wider understanding of reflective practice in the setting and through critical thoughts on given subjects/events that students have to reflect upon.
