knowledge and wisdom gained over many years of experience. Whilst

Another superb book from Steve Chinn - using his many years of

Steve Chinn provides insightful strategies and contextualised
approaches based on the latest evidence based research in a
straightforward and 'easy to read' manner. The educational sector
owes much to Steve Chinn and this book is testimony to that.
