Reviews

[Jason · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some really useful practical hints and tips to help a trainee teacher (like me) feel like they have ideas to implement in lessons. Easy to follow set up, with clear subject knowledge and theory areas, however it is nearly 10 years old, so how relevant it is to current government guidelines is open for debate. Worth getting from the library for the practical aspects alone.
