"I feel this book will be a valuable addition to the reading list of any course related to initial teacher training or continuing professional development (CPD) within the lifelong learning sector. Both its content and its presentation make it an attractive course text book and the author's style actually makes it a text book that is readable and enjoyable."

Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector is an essential introductory textbook for anyone who is working, or training to work, in the lifelong learning sector. The post-compulsory education and training sector is extremely diverse in terms of the range of students, teachers and settings. However, there are basic elements of good practice in teaching and learning which are essential and are explored in this book, including:
- A thorough understanding of the learners and their needs
- An understanding of, and willingness to develop, communication skills
- The necessity for reflective practice and continuing professional development
- The principles and practices of active learning and assessment for learning
- The importance of emotions in learning
Linked to the new Lifelong Learning UK standards for teachers, trainers and tutors, this highly practical and accessible book explores the fundamental aspects of teaching and learning, drawing on the most recent theories and developments. Chapters cover topics such as Communication; Learning Theories; Planning and Preparing; Assessment for learning; and Questioning and Explaining. The book provides a coherent framework for study and learning, which encourages you to make connections between the various aspects and to develop a holistic view of teaching and learning.
This is an essential textbook for anyone studying on a wide range of post- compulsory teacher training courses, including:
- Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS)
- Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (CTLLS)
- Diploma (Professional and Graduate) in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (DTLLS)
