'It is a highly readable and accessible book which follows a rather unusual format in that it reveals a multilayered structure, moving through policy, the learning context, and finally, the professional practice of teaching. In doing so, it challenges us to ask questions of our own beliefs and values, the dominant discourses and policy frameworks in which we work, and locates these discussions in an increasingly globalised world...In summary, this book is one which I would exhort teachers, and indeed teacher educators to read.

A very good read for the our FD and BA students studying Pedagogy. Consolidates contemporary issues in the teaching sector at the moment.

Mrs Annette Trilk

This is an excellent text, written by estsablished and well respected prectitioners and authors. A must for all Masters level Education courses in Scotland.

Mr Hugh Smith

A useful text for first year Foundation Degree students in learning support, who want to begin to read more deeply

Miss Caroline Meredith

This is a very good text for students beginning their Masters level studies in Education. I have recommended Contemporary Issues in Learning and Teaching as a core text for our MEd students.

I like the level of detailed discussion on areas such as critically reading of educational policy; School and schooling; Inclusion and pedagogy and see these as key chapters. This is a very accessible read for students new to masters level work

Dr Stephen Day

This key text is so refreshing because it does not follow the more traditional 'education studies' format, but instead examines key contemporary issues and thus serves to support beginning teachers as they learn to grapple with the diverse challenges of 21st century teaching.

Mr Steve Watts

This is an interesting book that will support students to think about the theory related to policy, learning and practice and how this can be linked to their own practice. Supportive of reflective work practice in general as well as linking to many other areas that would be discussed throughout many child care courses. It is good to see reference to the whole of the Uk,

Mrs Janet Harvell

This book explores a range of perspectives on current educational practice.The sections on policy and professionalism are very poinant for the FE sector at this present time.

Mrs Adele Sewell

A very useful book in terms of an evaluation of nurture groups and inclusion

Mrs Jenny Thompson

A clearly set out text, which enables the students to identify key issues and develop their understanding

Ms Karen Perry

This collection is broad ranging and yet detailed enough to provide students with an informative and challenging set of readings.

Dr Mary Richardson

This book deals with a number ofm issues which we as teachers face in 21st century education. It is not as accessible as some of the other other recommended texts for the upcoming academic year, however it will challenge the values and beliefs of our students and make them think far more critically about the ways in which they facilitate learning in children. The 'thinking points' throughout this book are a very useful way of getting students to reflect and think carefully about who they are as a teacher.

Mr Andy Stopher

This book provides balanced and thought provoking perspectives on a range of major contemporary educational issues. It does not focus too strongly on micro issues which would case it to date very quickly but focusses on areas that are likely to remain issues over longer periods of time. The use of case studies and thinking points throughout, encourage the critical engagement of the reader and should help to develop new teachers who can face and challenge the changing landscape of educaction.

Mr Peter Raymond

This text is split into aspects of a students journey and provides useful guidance and support. Useful case studies are identified and key reflection and discussion points are embedded within each chapter. The future of education, the last chapter gives food for thought…

Mrs Michelle Rogers

Clearly organised sections enable the reader to access information easily. Thinking points are very useful for encouraging deeper thinking, guiding the reader to apply theory to practical experiences and to question their own views and practice.

Mrs Hilary Morgan

This text is split into aspects of a students journey and provides useful guidance and support. Useful case studies are identified and key reflection and discussion points are embedded within each chapter. The future of education, the last chapter gives food for thought…

Mrs Michelle Rogers

Lovely selection of ideas. My students will find some enormously useful However our course becomes less theory based all the time, as hours are stolen and I find they read less

Ms Jay Deeble

another great text, very useful and student feedback good.

Dr Liane Purnell

I was a little disappointed by the selective nature of the content. It will be a useful supplementary reader for our course but does not cover as much of the unit material as I had hoped.

Mrs Pam Banks

A great 'all rounder' covering many of the most often used topics on the BEd course.
