This informative and accessible text will be welcomed by teachers, trainers and - most of all - trainee teachers in the further education sector, for whom it offers a wealth of information and support. I particularly like the way it encourages the reader to reflect on key issues and practices -- Susan Wallace Few textbooks are both practical and insightful. Few textbooks are both well researched and relevant to the immediate concerns of practitioners. Few textbooks combine the critical with the constructive. Few textbooks are written to make policy personal. This book is all of these things and is a tremendous resource for teacher educators and will be much appreciated and enjoyed by trainee teachers during their initial teacher education studies. -- Stephen Ball
