• "Points to Consider" boxes to encourage reflection and deeper thinking
• "Pause and Reflect" boxes to give the reader space to apply concepts to their own work as practice-based researchers
• eResources with recommended readings and "Meet the Teacher" exemplars of teachers’ stories to provoke further reflection, available on the book’s webpage: www.routledge.com/9780367177607
