"It is very rare to find an educational text that leads the reader from principles into practice. Teaching and Learning in International Schools does exactly that, and in a style that brings you along on a journey rather than intimidating with jargon and theory. Each chapter contains relevant and rich content that takes us through a wide range of ideas around teaching practice, pedagogy and teacher skill development. . . . The ' teacher voice' is strong and brings the theory into real-life, makes it more authentic and gives confidence to the reader that we can do it too!. . . . . This is a text that is much needed in national and international education. -- Malcolm Nicolson * Director Erimus Education, and International Educator * "This book is a welcome contribution to the resources available not only to those who wish to pursue a career in International Education but to any beginning teacher or those simply wanting to refresh their thinking about how to apply contemporary practices to the classroom. . . I am sure there will be much in this collection that will resonate with International Educators. The thoughtful questions posed throughout the text have the potential to guide some important conversations and prompt positive, professional growth. " -- Kath Murdoch * Seastar Education Consulting *
