Editorial Reviews

"Ros Clow has done something quite remarkable. The senior teacher in Post compulsory education at Oxford Brookes University, has co-written a book about classroom teaching methods which, apart from being a first-class textbook, is also eminently readable. To get a good introduction to the ethos of FE you'd be well advised to read this book."
