Review Quotes
Classroom from the International Professional Development Association
"What is unique is that the teaching techniques described, and analysed relate to teaching and learning in very different subject areas, such as medicine, health related programmes, teacher education, social work, and Business Studies. What is fascinating is that the case studies do reveal the real value of the teaching and learning activities in terms of how they help students to understand themselves, their values and beliefs, which they then feel able to apply in their ‘professional’ worlds."
