Review
I have found it useful in helping to plan aspects of some modules of the course. Relevant, accessible language for teachers and students. Useful further reading. --Senior Lecturer, Swansea Institute of Higher Education
Each of the 21 chapters clearly and firmly, yet gently and attractively, delves more and more deeply into its issue, so that in remarkably few pages the thoughtful reader can become at least superficially an expert in that aspect of our subject. Overall, this is a very good book in its not very good niche, one that will keep undergraduates and even many of their teachers entirely satisfied. --British Journal of Educational Technology 38(3) 2007
It covers a wide range of topics relevant to those aspiring to become teachers and prompts essential reflection --Lecturer, University of Birmingham
