Oh, Dmitry and Julie, I really wish you had written this book when I was working as a Director of Studies in a school in Egypt many years ago! It would have been perfect for our staff development program. Not only are the activities spot on, but they’re written in a clear and accessible style. If only you’d written it thirty years ago!

I really enjoyed this text. Given the huge amount of different kinds of activities in this or that way connected to CPD, you inevitably get stuck in the rut of your own conceptions about it. 

Reading of this book gave me emotional support as I shared most of the authors’ views, filled me with great ideas and made me think about some issues which I hope I’ll be able to discuss with the authors face to face one day.
