It is so refreshing to read a book which champions the professional judgement of teachers and advocates the core values of education. Understanding the people - students and colleagues - must always be fundamental to successful teaching. Teachers, at whatever level, must have eyes, ears and minds that are open and they must not be constrained by the delivery of a prescribed curriculum, or solely focused on achieving targets designed by faceless civil servants remote from the students and teachers who matter. Your book offers hope and inspiration, so desperately needed in our schools and colleges. -- Brian McDowell
