imperatives to the core purpose of every intelligent, modern
school. It equips you, both intellectually and practically, to get
on with the real job of teaching, the moral job, funnily enough the

political dogma determine practice and of seeking to give students
the best chance of lifelong success as they stride out into their
adult world, not ours.Paul Ginnis, author of The Teacheras
Toolkit
