Description
The definitive research-informed textbook for reflective professionals in further, adult and vocational education. Written by a collaborative author team drawn from professional bodies, further education colleges and higher education institutions, Reflective Teaching in Further and Adult Education provides a comprehensive single point of reference for supporting practitioners. Key issues such as assessment and feedback, curriculum, and behaviour management are explored through case studies from across the wider sector, and informed by accessible commentaries on key theories and principles.
This new edition builds on the firm foundations of the previous editions in four key ways:
1. Mapping of content in all chapters onto the latest ETF Professional Standards for Teachers and Trainers and the latest ETF Minimum Core for FE Teacher Training Programmes, which now covers EDI and sustainability, and the Learning and Skills Teacher Apprenticeship Standards.
2. Engaging with a broader range of FAVE contexts: workplace, work-based and work-related learning contexts; adult and community education contexts; and non-classroom based contexts.
4. Increased direct signposting between specific related chapters to allow for easy cross-reference.
5. More extensive use of research about the FAVE sector throughout, including research done within the FAVE sector, both for close focus activities and reflections in chapters, and underpinning the text.
Revised with a greater emphasis on research both about and led by the sector, the book offers extensive support for teachers and trainers at all points of the career path, trainees and advanced practitioners, for students taking a Level 3 Award in Education and Training or PGCE and also for qualified teachers working towards Advanced Teacher Status.
