Active Learning - User guides

I intend to check what is being suggested in the various guides and try a few over the next view months - before I take part in an inter-school learning review project.

Loosely, these are teaching practice guides rather than academic books and journals - I'm a teacher not an academic, but inevitably there is cross over in some cases.

- The Lazy Teacher's handbook, Jim Smith
Aimed at teachers with some experience

- Teaching Today - Geoff Petty
Associated with PGCE (etc.) but with a good overview

- Building Learning Power - Guy Glaxton
