This book is very easy to read, it served to educate and make the curriculum an easier subject to navigate.
This book is highly recommended on the reading list for the Cert Ed course
Advised as a supplementary text for our education students to see how education evolves across the sector. Some pertinant chapters, expecially chapter 2.
A good choice for the mandatory City and Guilds DTLLS unit however with current changes being implemented in September 2013 this may need revising.
Supports understanding for further discussion and implementation
Essential for the PGCE/Cert Ed. Dr Tummons writes so effortlessly it is very easy for students to dip in and out.
