" provides an overview of the processes involved in Action Research;


" shows you how to identify an issue, design and carry out a course of action and evaluate the impact of this action;


" uses real case studies from practising TAs.


The content of the book relates to both Early Years and Primary settings, and there are case studies from a variety of settings.


Anyone studying for a Foundation Degree, or working towards HLTA status, will find this book meets their needs.
