This is a very impressive text.  Though covering a great deal of relevant research this is far from being a ‘dry’ read.  The authors write in a flowing style that engages the reader whilst offering challenge.

It is with great pleasure that I am able to endorse this excellent text. It is a rich resource for developing a well-informed and critical approach to the subject of Professional Practice.

Armitage et al have pulled off a real coup in this text, managing to capture the complexity of professional activity in changing times.

Education in the 14-19 sector is going through a period of unprecedented change.  This textbook provides a clear, accessible and supportive guide to recent developments in policy, theory and practice, providing you with a complete resource to support you in your initial teacher training. 

Each chapter includes a range of interactive pedagogical features, designed to aid understanding:

·        Case studies provide extended examples that illustrate core concepts and theories in action

·        Research focus features outline important research studies, revealing their key findings and demonstrating how these apply in everyday practice

·        What do you think? boxes encourage you to reflect on, and interrogate, what you have learnt

Additional resources and support are available via the Developing Professional Practice companion website, www.pearsoned.co.uk/14-19, where you can access self-study questions, case studies, interactive chapter-by-chapter tutorials, audio clips and a glossary of key terms.
