Listening to Mick is always a pleasure, his down to earth, common sense beliefs are forged from exhaustive research, vast experience and a commitment to providing high quality learning experiences for our young people, regardless of their backgrounds. His book is no different, it is as thought provoking and challenging as I had hoped it would be. I am looking forward to some very interesting and productive staff development sessions, using his questions, and suggestions as the basis for discussion and change.
