Teachers tend to be blessed with a healthy scepticism and so Jackie Rossa's new book is nothing if not ambitious in claiming to help practitioners deliver the perfect lesson.
Still Rossa, who is managing director of Learning Central UK, has produced a little nine-volt battery of a book that packs a punch. It is compact (smaller than A5 format
and only 176 pages) and it speed-dates teachers with an impressive range of practical ideas complete with mini case studies, tips and checklists. There are books that will stretch you more but that's missing the point. And, at just under '£10, this little book makes a strong case for itself.
