Quirke's methods follow the DREAM philosophy; Develop and delegate, Recruit and respect, Enhance and enjoy, Appraise and attend, and Mentor and motivate.
Learn how to unpack the complexity behind a teacher's daily classroom work and channel tacit knowledge into a well-designed, productive learning environment.
About the English Language Teacher Development Series
As the English language teaching field continually reinvents itself, the pressure is intense for language teachers to update their knowledge.

The series offers a theory-to-practice approach, a variety of practical methods, and time for reflections that allow teachers to interact with the materials presented. The books can be used in preservice settings, in-service courses, and by individuals looking for ways to refresh their practice.
