The Teacher Development Series - a series for teachers, trainers and academic managers. This series will promote development by dealing with professional topics in a personal way. The aim is to deepen understanding, raise self-awareness and encourage self-direction and choice. READINGS IN TEACHER DEVELOPMENT presents selections from writers in the field of teacher development and related disciplines.
