Reviews
An instant FAVE for those teaching in further, adult and vocational education ... It can be used as a powerful reference book and is full of current thinking, research, policy and practice ... [A] real insight into the world of further education. * inTuition (of the previous edition) * This book makes two important contributions to the FAVE sector. First, it shows how values of social justice and personal empowerment impact learning and success. Second, it shows how professionalization of the field depends on clear vision, critical refection on practice, and passion to create equitable pedagogical and curricular changes. * Rosalind Latiner Raby, Senior Lecturer, Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, California State University, Northridge, USA * Reflective Teaching in FAVE offers critical insight to the practice of value led teaching in these sectors. It provides a very readable and comprehensive overview of the challenges and dilemmas practioners encounter working in varied and diverse contexts with adult learners. It skillfully presents the contemporary political context of FAVE and offers strategies to support meaningful and successful learning outcomes in this challenging environment. As the title suggests practice embedded in critially reflective processes is explored carefully and in depth. This text is essential reading for both new and experienced adult learning practitioners. * Ann Swinney, Senior Lecturer of Education, University of Dundee, UK *

It highlights the importance of the sector and its often undervalued contribution to an ever changing society. The authors have produced a book that reminds us of the crucial role FAVE plays in addressing social justice and the underpinning importance it plays in everything that teachers do in learning and teaching. It offers a comprehensive guide into the daily issues faced by those working in the sector and offers excellent advice for those new to FAVE as well as for those who have already established their career. The authors have produced a book that provides insight into the importance of being a reflective practitioner as well as offering advice to help achieve it. These authors have walked the walk in education and as a result the ideas contained within are contextualised, ensuring a book that is engaging and accessible to everyone. * Colin Ross, Curriculum Manager, Education & Social Science, Ayrshire College, UK *
