Recent Product Reviews:

Excellent.
Mrs Tracey Dobbs, School of Care, Blaenau Gwent Learning Zone
This text is a good overview for L 4 students.
Dr Nic Lightfoot, Education, Sheffield Hallam Univ.
Good extracts for discussion in seminars, less of an independent read for 1st years.
Ms Sarah Earle, Department of Primary Education, Bath Spa University
A really good initial text that introduces students to some key concepts of Ed Studies programmes
Mrs Karen Griffiths, Education , Manchester Metropolitan Univ (Crewe)
This book is excellent for discussing key themes and debates in education. The section on Education in the 21st Century is particularly relevant for our moduules. The text is probably more appropriate for level 5 rather than level 4 and we will therefore place it on the recommended reading list for the undergraduates in year 2 in Sept 2013.
Mrs CAROLINE TANCOCK, Education , Canterbury Christ Church University
