This book covers a range of current educational issues, while providing some background information, which allows students to gain an insight to policies and practice.
The ‘Pause for thought’ sections are an excellent feature, which will encourage students to critically reflect on information. It also provides questions that can be discussed in groups to develop students’ reflective skills, while also gaining and considering alternative points of view.

This is a very clear and accessible text which explores the varied and challenging issues facing the educational world.

The shaded ′research′ and ′pause for thought′ boxes are really helpful to encourage students to reflect on the issues and begin to develop their own views.

A very helpful text. -- Mrs Sian Templeton * drupal *

The only concern I have is the thin paper on which it is printed, text can be seen through from the other side. However, this does not distract from the excellent content which will help any undergraduate student with their learning. -- Ms Ann Gravells * drupal *
