Reviews

'The Motivated School is an important book. It addresses a number of key issues which are central to Scottish educational policy, including Better Behaviour: Better Learning, Inclusion and Raising Attainment. It is also a controversial book, challenging as it does woolly thinking on issues such as self-esteem, rewards and motivation to learn' - Scottish Education Review
