Handbook for Education Professionals: Bristol Guide
The Bristol Guide is an essential handbook for all educational professionals. It is written by Senior Lecturer, Helen Aberdeen and produced at the School of Education, University of Bristol.
The Bristol Guide enables a focused understanding of the key policies and practices in education in a way that busy people can access, discuss and apply. I have not discovered another publication that can do this so effectively.
A compact, comprehensive and credible guide to how the education system works.
