Industry Reviews
This is a very accessible book which I believe clearly outlines many of the situations and experiences which a student encounters and which can contribute to their learning. -- Karen Hillison This timely book will be a godsend to both students and practice educators studying or new to the role. Thorough examination of the practice learning process peppered with reference links and reflective activities makes this an engaging and accessible text. Thoroughly recommended! -- Donna Jones I feel this an excellent book which gives the student a step-by-step guide to Practice Learning and all the areas they need to know about undertaking a Placement. I like how the author included young people's views. This book will also be very useful to new and experienced Practice Educators. -- Elaine Flynn
