The authors of this text explore teaching within the range of UK state educational provision, using their own personal experiences of learning and teaching as the jumping-off point. The commentary demonstrates the relevance of each story to every teacher. Teacher training places a huge emphasis on personal reflection and aims to produce teachers who are reflective practitioners. Through the medium of personal account and subsequent evaluation, the authors show how they have become reflective practitioners and how they value their own and each other's insights. The book aims to be relevant to teaching students of all subjects at all levels.
