The Theory and Practice of Teaching Reviews

'On picking up the book, I decided not to be anyone - but someone, a student teacher to be precise. Reading the book from what I perceive to be a student teacher perspective, I looked for accessible pages, different styles of teaching and learning, practical hints to take into the classroom. It was all there.' - ESCalate
