Reviews / Votes
"A significant and inspiring shift away from the more common consideration of the role of practise learning" - Practice: Social Work in Action "With a range of UK and international contributors that include students, practice educators and academics, this book is innovative and thought provoking. It provides a timely reminder of the importance of promoting social justice and creativity in practice education and social work more generally" Anna Gupta, Royal Holloway University of London "A refreshing addition to the sparse literature on practice teaching and learning. Student led, rooted in local and international placement experiences within a range of sectors with practice educators, it offers innovative and exciting learning opportunities." Kish Bhatti-Sinclair, University of ChichesterMore details
