           Recommended books on teaching

For those of you interested in the teaching and learning processes, I’d recommend checking and flicking through some of the following books which describe what happens when teachers have ownership of what and how they teach……….something that has disappeared as teachers are more and more now told HOW and WHAT to teach by those who have little or no experience of what is required to create a community of enthusiastic learners….
