It highlights the importance of the sector and its often undervalued contribution to an ever changing society. The authors have produced a book that reminds us of the crucial role FAVE plays in addressing social justice and the underpinning importance it plays in everything that teachers do in learning and teaching. It offers a comprehensive guide into the daily issues faced by those working in the sector and offers excellent advice for those new to FAVE as well as for those who have already established their career. The authors have produced a book that provides insight into the importance of being a reflective practitioner as well as offering advice to help achieve it. These authors have walked the walk in education and as a result the ideas contained within are contextualised, ensuring a book that is engaging and accessible to everyone. * Colin Ross, Curriculum Manager, Education & Social Science, Ayrshire College, UK *
