Reseña del editor

"Transforming Teaching and Learning" describes in theoretical and practical detail how the widely acclaimed Critical Skills Programme addresses all the current priority isssues of UK education in a uniquely powerful and comprehensive way. The book includes: a clear description of the basic principles of CSP and how these are applied in practice; real-life experiences from both sides of the Atlantic of using the CSP model at classroom, whole school and authority level; advice and support for newly CSP-trained teachers and their senior managers; answers to frequently asked questions about implementing CSP; and a thorough explanation of how effectively CSP addresses key government priorities such as raising expectations and motivating and engaging pupils.

Network Educational Press were so impressed with the videos and other CSP materials that they negotiated the exclusive rights to promote CSP in the UK and asked Colin to take on the role of UK Critical Skills Manager.

He trained in CSP in 1990, and after several years of teaching with the model joined the Critical Skills Programme headquarters staff. He is now President of Leading EDGE LLC, which organises all CSP training in New York State. Since early 2000 he has also worked closely with Network Educational Press to develop UK CSP training.
