“What is appealing about Alan’s book is that it encompasses so many crucial aspects of ITT. Not only does it relate to key legal elements of the role but has clear links to the Teachers’ Standards and professional and personal attributes and values – essential for all teachers. We will be providing all of our trainees with a copy of the book at the start of our training programme.”

Stuart Russell, Director of ITT, Kent and Medway Teacher Training
