Rezensionen
"I have read several books of this nature aimed at classroom practitioners, but this one has a contemporary feel and includes references to current debates. It successfully articulates the need for research-informed practitioners and is another tool in the armoury of a profession that desperately needs to able to stand up to politicians." - Peter Ford, Schools Week

"I think that Dr Firth's book will be welcomed by trainee teachers, their research supervisors and trainers, and practicing teachers alike. Indeed, the book as a whole is, in my view, to be highly recommended to these reader audiences, and on a personal note, I intend to lose no time in making such recommendations myself." - Dr Stephen James Minton, The Psychology of Education Review
