Margaret’s seminal work on Learning Stories was first published in 2001, and this widely acclaimed approach to assessment has since gained a huge international following.

In this new full-colour book, Margaret and Wendy outline the philosophy behind Learning Stories and refer to the latest findings from the research projects they have led with teachers on learning dispositions and learning power, to argue that Learning Stories can construct learner identities in early childhood settings and schools.

You can order this book either through fishpond or The Book Depository.
