Product reviews for ASK

Learning to learn is high on schools' agenda and this book makes a valuable contribution to the literature on the subject

It's a useful handbook of practice which is also a valuable addition"lots available from researcher/writers but very valuable to have practitioner point of view and this is a strength. School context very important in this and teachers working in this area without the support of a whole school SLT(unlike Villiers HS ) may find it difficult to make progress.

The work does relate to a "work in progress' and might have been even more useful in a year or two's time when greater involvement of all teachers/all lessons could be included.

Sometimes rich in examples from real teachers in real lessons but sometimes a bit simplistic and stating of the obvious.

But overall a very valuable contribution to this area of metacognition.
