Spot on text clear and concise. The students understand the language and the feedback from them has been really positive.
Useful to students teaching in FE with good priniciples included and links to theories of learning
We are running a short course on basic teaching for members of our Participation Programme who work with students on the BA Hons Social Work course. This will be essential reading for the Programme members. Fantastic book!
An excellent book for adults who are expected to teach to their peers within their role.
Excellent text. Learners have found it accessible and easy to navigate. Good use of tables to cover large amounts of information succinctly.
Usefully updated to reflect the changes to the PTLLS award. Readable and pitched appropriately for trainee teachers, or those considering starting to teach. A comprehensive introduction to the key ingredients of an effective learning experience, and practical guidance on how to plan, prepare and deliver. Theoretical aspects, eg theories of learning, are also introduced in a straightforward way, appropriate to this level. The use of \Examples\" helps the reader link the theory to practice."
This is a really good first reference book to use as a guide to the first steps towards a teacing qualification.
An excellent resource for any PTLLS student. Will guide and assist through all units in new award
This was an excellent resource for PTLLS learners
