Review:

′Each chapter ends with practical activities, professional development activities, a ′points to remember′ box and references for further reading. A useful resource for teachers, headteachers, trainee teachers and support staff′ -
Ian Hall, Learning and Teaching

′The book is a well-written and non-threatening guide through the minefield of introducing a new pedagogical mindset...At last, teachers have a ′how-to′ for co-operative learning, so now there are no excuses not to do it!′
