Place in HLT

While not one of the authors of any of the key books or articles which began and developed HLT, practitioners and writers like Mario Rinvolucri, Alan Maley, Rod Bolitho and Adrian Underhill, Dave has been a strong, enthusiastic and consistent proponent of its key values and approaches, both in his own classrooms and in the learning environments created at Bell Norwich and NILE. His teams at both institutions have had huge impact in making HLT a reality for thousands of teachers and learners worldwide.
