Media Reviews

'Anyone who embarks on the difficult journey towards qualified teacher status needs a good guidebook ... Their Companion is a valuable resource ... There is a careful balance ... between the intellectual demands of current educational theory and sound contemporary classroom practice. It is encouraging to note that three of the contributors in the classroom issues section are practising teachers whose case studies and tasks draw on their own experience. The coverage of key issues is carefully structured.' - The Times Educational Supplement

'This very useful book successfully blends theory, history, critical reflection and suggestions for practice ... is intended primarily for students on secondary PGCE courses. However, it will also be useful for mentors, tutors and newly qualified teachers as well as experienced RE practitioners to update them on recent developments across a wide area of subject concerns. Given the financial constraints experienced by many schools ... this text could be a very valuable resource for professional development within a school or a cluster of schools.' - Ian Hartland, RESource, The Journal of the Professional Council for Religious Education
