Conclusions

'This is a splendid book. [The authors] distil the results of their distinguished research and teaching to provide teachers with a new set of lenses with which to look at successful learning in classrooms. At the core of the book is a powerful critique of externally imposed frameworks for improving teaching and learning, and in their place, Watkins, Carnell and Lodge offer a powerful conception of the teacher as transformative pedogogue...This is a book which should not be on the shelf but on the desk of every professional development coordinator in schools' -
Teacher Development


Includes some clear strategies which are relevant to the course content. Some strategies have been useful for students to try and reflect on in the classroom.

This is a good book to support learning and M level work and research on the PGCE. I would also recommend this book for supporting school based CPD.

A really useful text for linking theories of learning to their practical applications. Recommended for several of our MA Education units as well as essential for one of them.
