520    "What are the beliefs that influence your professional 
       practice? Have you ever thought about why you make the 
       decisions you make as a teacher? What influences your 
       teaching style? Beyond the technical skills and knowledge 
       aspects of education, teachers and student teachers face 
       questions which challenge their beliefs and approaches to 
       their teaching and learning. This book contains a series 
       of short articles which not only offer guidance on key 
       topics but encourage the reader to engage in reflecting on
       their own practice. Questions explored include: - Is 
       learning through practical work worth the effort? - What 
       can we learn from comparisons with education in other 
       countries? - Is there a smarter way to use digital imagery
       in your teaching? - What's the point of theory? Isn't 
       teaching just a craft?"-
