It is vital for all those entering this complex  sector to understand its history, some of the key philosophies and concepts that have driven research, policy and practice in this area and to be introduced to the ideas of a range of current and past thinkers.

One of its major strengths is the regular opportunities it offers  the reader to pause and reflect - surely one of the most important activities for teachers at whatever stage of their career.
