The study skills section is very good - it picks up on the main issues facing trainees in Education and Training contexts and ensures that the advice and guidance are directly relevant to these learners. Also good are the sections on teaching observations and progression.

I will be recommending it for its simplicity as a core text for our new ITT introductory programme. Christian Beighton Canterbury Christchurch
