I found this very useful for my own practice, also shared it with students and colleagues completing a variety of courses. -- Dr Kate D'Arcy * drupal *
This is good but is one of many which are chosen and will complement the recommended reading -- Dr Sheila Cunningham * drupal *

excellent content links to first year DTLLS -- Miss Linda Williamson * drupal *
Another clear, concise text from Phil Race that gets straight to the point. An invaluable resource for both students and teachers -- Mr Brian McGowan * drupal *
This text considers a good range of the practices required for teaching adults and it will be a text that we recommend to our DTLLS learners. I do feel that it misses out on differentiation, but overall well written. -- Mr Derek Allford * drupal *
A crucial textbook that links in accessible understanding with under pinning theory. Race delivers yet again. We have since ordered 5 copies in via the libray -- Mr Geoffrey Hughes * drupal *
This book very nicely considers all corners of the FE classroom and how a new lecturer should practice in them. It doesn′t rely too much on theory but this is its strength. So many educational books for learning lecturers do not cover basics like differentiation and disruptive behaviour in practical terms.
This kind of book is very valuable then at providing the skeleton for education′s theoretical flesh. -- Mr Michael Pitt * drupal *
Phil Race presents information in a user friendly style.The book has lots of hints and tips .It is a useful text for the new trainee teacher. -- Mrs Adele Sewell * drupal *
Interesting read, would recommend for professional development. -- Mrs Beverley Owen-jones * drupal *
Easy to read, but not quite critical enough or aimed at the right audience. (M level learners) I would suggest thsi book for a level 6 course in mentor preparation I teach, however. -- Mrs Carrie Kirby * drupal *
A very good book which will really benefit my students for their future career. -- Mrs Donna O'Connor * drupal *
Focus and content fully reflects the title of the book - and encourages the reader to reflect on their current practices, as well as pass on hints and tips for situations not yet experienced -- Mrs HELEN WHALLEY * drupal *
Fantastic- Race really does put into practice within this book smarter ways of teaching. This is a book that all teachers should have to refer back to on all occasions. -- Mrs Joanne Heyes * drupal *
