Customer Reviews

Good information, but not very user-friendly.
This book appears daunting on first impressions, and, as they say, first impressions are often right. Although split into clearly labelled chapters, with plenty of tables and charts, I found it hard to actually grasp any specific advice. I had hoped it would be useful for on-the-floor classroom teaching, but instead it is wrapped up in academia, using unfamiliar phrases and long, drawn out sentences. Sub headings would have split the text up and made it more manageable. If you are an education student, then this book probably is the right one for you, but if you are a practising teacher hoping for extra insight, then you must be feeling brave with a lot of spare time on your hands. For the really motivated student, there are plenty of practical exercises included in the book, that sound really good and worthwhile - if, that is, you can be bothered!
