Brierley Primary School *\u003cbr\u003eOF THE PREVIOUS EDITION: ‘How nice to see the humanisation of a process  that it is of real  concern to teachers.  It is good to see a book that  takes the teachers'  issues seriously but reminds us that the best teaching and  learning is  motivating, personalised and rewarding to both pupils and the  teachers  themselves rather than mechanistic and unnecessarily formulaic.   This  book reminds us that enjoyable teaching and Ofsted success should be    and usually are synonymous.' -- Tim  Lomas, Principal School Improvement Adviser * CfBT Lincolnshire School  Improvement Service, UK *\u003cbr\u003eOF THE PRVIOUS EDITION: ‘Engagingly written and bursting  with practical, stimulating ideas to  PIMP your lessons.
