Description

Review of the second edition:

"... clearly written, well organised, easy to use, practical and accessible for both new and continuing teachers."
The Lecturer

The third edition of this bestselling text examines the breadth of post-compulsory education (PCE) from Adult and Further Education through to training in private and public industry and commerce. Revised and updated throughout to include recent initiatives and developments in the field, it is the definitive textbook on learning, teaching, resources, course planning and assessment in all areas of PCE.

The authors examine key areas in post-compulsory education through topical discussion, practical exercises, theory, reading, analysis, information, and examples of student work. Popular features of the previous edition such as the chronology of PCE have been retained and fully updated.

New features include:

  • The new framework for teacher training, including the new Lifelong Learning UK professional standards, CPD provision, mentoring and subject coaching
  • The revised 14-19 agenda and the developments involved, including specialised diplomas, functional skills, personalised learning and thinking skills, changes to GCSE and A Levels, work related learning
  • Developments in information and learning technology, particularly electronic teaching and learning resources
