<p><strong>'I find this a useful book ... For managers and professional development coordinators it is a useful book which will provide a range of rationales for the participation of teachers in professional development and it also clarifies that there are many ways of engaging with such development. It provides an excellent foundation for those responsible for CPD in schools ...'</strong> - <em>Bill Goddard, Journal of In-service Education</em><br /><br /><strong>Quotes from the first edition:'This is a book that deserves to be widely read. It provides a rationale for delivering INSET, charts a helpful course for the identification of needs and delves the appropriateness of what is on offer. It is, at the same time, a prompt for individual professional development and an important management tool in planning staff INSET.'</strong> - <em> Cambridge Journal of Education'It is full of practical and realistic guidance which - importantly - rests on a carefully thought out rationale to which many leading educational researchers have contributed over the years.'</em></p>
