A great book to use for tutorials, I use elements of this book to support my own thinking skills and to help develop those of learners. Especially useful for BTEC level 3/A Level courses whereby learners attend placement and need to keep a reflective journal. The effective tasks in this book provide a new approach to thinking and learning skills.
