Reviews
A critical reflection on issues related to classroom behaviour management and introduces strategies to build student motivation with the intent of changing the discourse in the classroom. Most importantly, Denise Robinson makes a compelling case for understanding colonial roots that define this higher educational sector and that influence the current cohort of students disengagement and the need to re-conceptualize current practices to serve as an alternative to the existing hegemonic one. * Rosalind Latiner Raby, Senior Lecturer, California State University, USA *
I found the reflection exercises beneficial in my reflection as a teacher ... All teachers, experienced or inexperienced, should consider picking this book up. * Journal of Applied Learning and Teaching *
