"Marilyn Fairclough has brought her humanity, focus and gentleness to a book which will be required reading for any teacher dealing with lifelong learners. We know that many such learners are vulnerable and uncertain. The book is crammed with practical tips, is underpinned by her wisdom and wide experience and will do much to answer the question that runs through the entire book: how, exactly, do you put learners at the centre of the process at the same time as delivering a demanding curriculum?" Jenny Rogers, Director of Management Futures Ltd, UK "It comes as no surprise that Marilyn Fairclough has written such an excellent book. It is 'bang up to date' with her referencing of the LLUK standards. The additional references at the end of each chapter will help trainee teachers contextualise the standards and relate them to their own teaching practice."
