They also explain how educators can use feedback more effectively and efficiently, and the essential role of instilling a shared sense of quality.

[Steven Kolber · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderful book, a concept that the coverage of which must become the core focus of teachers if they are to meaningfully build upon their students knowledge. So many great connections between existing theory and practice and a clear and concise focus throughout. I was left feeling like I could make use of this knowledge and approach tomorrow and the authors also entrusted me with the ability to be adaptable and to modify their method to suit context and experience.
