Editorial Reviews

'... The widely experienced authors acknowledge that most Sencos are primarily teachers, and provide comprehensive coverage of all the aspects of management necessary to deliver the code effectively ... The easy style of writing encourages the busy teacher to use it for quick reference or deeper study ... Each chapter is constructively supported by checkpoints, aides-memoires, activities and photocopiable pro forma.' - The Times Educational Supplement
