- Susan Wallace,
<p>Few textbooks are both practical and insightful. Few textbooks are both well researched and relevant to the immediate concerns of practitioners. Few textbooks combine the critical with the constructive. Few textbooks are written to make policy personal. This book is all of these things and is a tremendous resource for teacher educators and will be much appreciated and enjoyed by trainee teachers during their initial teacher education studies.</p>
