I love how rooted in experience and research it is, and I respect the quality of discussion found in the chapters. I felt like it was a conversation with a colleague, rather than someone preaching their beliefs. When using the book with the secondary and primary schools I support, the discussion and focus on concept-led design has such clarity and detail that it’s been incredibly useful to use it when evaluating curriculum intent and implementation. What I value most is the professional dialogue that it allows and encourages. It is rich with experience and guidance, but invites reflection and development.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJess Blakeman\u003c\/strong\u003e, Education Improvement Advisor for English, Worcestershire Children First, Worcester Council School Improvement Team\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMary Myatt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.Persistent problems in English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.
