'With increasing numbers of trainee teachers on school based programs, it is of paramount importance that schools address the needs of the individual holistically. This book outlines an effective blueprint for doing this. Whilst it acknowledges that the answers are many and varied, it is invaluable in signposting the key questions that training providers need to be asking of themselves and the trainees they are working with.' -- Benyna Richards
