“I asked myself if this book could enhance the professionalism of teachers in general. It will, irrespective of any specialism… This book should help to disperse the fog of ignorance and prejudice and I wish that some of my school teachers had read something like it.”  Cliff Jones, Critical Professional Learning, Vice Chair of the International Professional Development Association (IPDA)
