Biography
Susan Wallace is Emeritus Professor of Education at Nottingham Trent University where, for many years, part of her role was to support learning on the initial training courses for teachers in the FE sector. She has researched and published extensively on education, training and management of behaviour, and is a popular keynote speaker at conferences. Her particular interests are in mentoring and the motivation and behaviour of students.
Great for those starting out in teaching - easy to read and scenarios provide examples trainees can relate to. Concepts are presented in an accessible way, with good links to relevant theory. The size of the book is perfect - not a huge, big scary academic textbook that would frighten trainees, particularly those working In vocational areas. - Janey Burrow, Bromley CollegeI found the book really excellent, and the fact that it was written as an almost Novel added to the meaning; it also managed to do this as well as bringing in theory.I will commend it to my colleagues in FE as well as any FE students I encounter. - Karl Aubrey, Bishop Grosseteste UniversityI particularly liked the case studies which I found realistic and engaging. The critical thinking activities which followed each one were useful and thought provoking. It was also an enjoyable read unlike many education texts which are often as dry as dust. - Heidi McWade, The College of West Anglia
