ASPE's 2009 Conference - 'The Rose Review Explored'

The conference was held at the British Library in London on 3rd July '09. Sir Jim Rose presented his draft review (during the final consultation period) illustrating it with choice anecdotes and classroom observations. During the afternoon, a 'panel of experts' dealt with issues raised by those attending, allowing for a critical debate of the review. A detailed account of the conference is in the latest Newsletter in the members' area.
