The authors address three important levels: the school, the classroom and the individual. At each level, they show how to identify and analyze patterns of difficulty, and then identify methods for improvement.

It is a mine of helpful ideas and practical approaches. This is not recipe book, or a source of quick fixes or favourite theories.
