Media reviews

"It should not [...] be viewed exclusively as a PGCE text, but rather essential reading of all professional educators who decide to think critically/evaluate and reflect upon classroom practice in order to improve the quality of learning for their pupils."
– David J. Turton, British Journal of Educational Studies

"It is a useful and stimulating addition to the literature on geography teaching. The issues covered are relevant to many teachers and [...] there is something of interest in every chapter. Its wide-ranging scope will enable readers to pick and choose as they wish."
– Paul Weeden, British Educational Research Journal
