Reimagining the Diary: Reflective practice as a positive tool for educator wellbeing

'Reimagining the Diary: Reflective practice as a positive tool for educator wellbeing' is the new book by Dr Lucy Kelly, School of Education, and was born from her research project on teacher and student wellbeing.
