The book provides helpful guidance to initial training students and teacher trainers alike.
Dr Jose Manuel Reis-Jorge, Escola de Educação, Instituto Superior de Educação e Ciências
Having used the two previous editions, we have found this book invaluable for our trainee teachers. The style of writing is one that they take to easily and they are constantly dipping in and out of it when writing their assignments and to get tips to support their teaching.
