Reviews

""...This excellent book covers all the mandatory content of the Diploma in Teaching and the Apprenticeship Occupational Duties: indeed, these are mapped to chapter content at the very start of each chapter. The book is particularly good at exploring those new areas it was felt should be addressed as an enhancement of the previous Diploma in Education and Training (DET) and does so in a thorough and comprehensive manner. Useful pedagogical features, such as case studies, critical questions, developmental questions, discussions, activities as well as brief tests to check understanding, will help readers apply content to their practice whether they are learning alone or in groups."" -- Andy Armitage, Education Consultant * Formerly – Head of Post-Compulsory Education and Training, Canterbury Christ Church University * ""Comprehensive, well-structured and up to date, this book will enable trainee teachers to navigate the institutions, practices and policies of the FES sector, whilst also guiding them through their course. The writers have successfully combined wide scope and careful scholarship. With activities to check understanding and suggested further reading for each chapter, it will be invaluable for those entering the sector."" -- Kevin Orr * Visiting Professor at Goldsmiths, University of London and at University of Huddersfield *
