Child Development for Teachers

I really liked this book. It covers a wide range of child development theories which are useful, not just for teachers but for students studying on a number of different education related courses. I particularly liked the case studies which help students to make links between the abstract theory and how it might be seen and used in practice. -- Dr Heather Macdonald * drupal *
