Given the variety available in structuring this new course, the book provides clarity on the best approaches for both learners & providers in creating best fit. It also indicates clearly the content of each Unit & the expected quality of return from the participants.
A good constructors guide & a must reference for learners at both levels.

This is an excellent book that I would recommend for a PTTLS course, it has all that you need ror the student working towards this award, in accessible format.

This book is a really good resource for the new syllabus. Ann Gravells continues to develop the coverage without any uneccesary complicatoon that could act as a barrier for PTLLS students who might not have undertaken formal studies for some time.
The learner is guided through the programme with a wide range of relevant, illustrative examples to provide useful context and depth.
An excellent book from Ann Gravells, as usual.

A great broad introduction into teaching and learning.

A good book for the PTLLS course. The author is actively invovled with the ITT qualification and also writes useful links via Linkedin professional networking site. This book has been superseded with a fifth edition with the new units, however this book still remains a good resource for those completing the PTLLS course.
