"This book might appeal to teachers who are in need of some general professional development ideas, want to reboot their teaching - or need to think more positively about their job! To this end, the book provides some guidance and structure and guidance. However, it does not replace face-to-face professional dialogue or a rich and grounded professional develoment programme completed alongside school colleagues" - Melissa Glackin, School Science Review
