In the introduction to his book “Inside Teaching”, John Blanchard describes his intention of offering the reader an opportunity to: “take stock, consider practical options, plan, experiment, reflect and still have time and energy to lead your life.” In drawing together his own experiences as a teacher and teacher educator, as well as other knowledgeable experts, Blanchard presents a thoughtful collection of teaching and learning topics that achieve his goal. While no theme in this book is covered in depth, and at times is presented as a personal view without reference to the relevant research base, there is enough content, presented with examples and authoritative comment, to interest and inform readers with different educational experience. Although a relatively short book, this is a highly practical manual of ideas, ready for immediate adoption. Inside Teaching is destined to become a popular and worthy addition to the reading lists of those new to teaching, as well as those facilitating professional development or teaching inquiries.
