Please note: This book has since been updated to reflect the new title of the qualification: The Award in Education and Training.The qualification unit content contained in the appendices has since changed, and some legislation mentioned in the book has been updated.
A much improved publication inclusive of new practices. The book provides a comprehensive Introduction which provides a list of qualifications for teaching and learning. Jargon busted in an easy accessible read for all levels.
Gravells covers the same aspects included in the Ptlls qualification but in greater depth and she has expanded on areas not previously looked at in previous editions.
User friendly layout makes it easy to access the required information. The Micro Teaching section will be of particular use to new teachers and the learners of Pttls.
The Appendix sections 1 – 9 breaks down in detail the criteria a learner has to attain in order to reach a Level 3 or Level 4 in the Ptlls qualification.
Overall a much expanded text book from the earlier editions which goes into greater depth and addresses the criteria along with the use of new technology in teaching.
This should be the accompanying read for all new to teaching and training.
an excellent read and informative insight into teaching.
A great broad introduction into teaching and learning.
A very detailed and comprehensive book which guides the learners within the knowledge requirements in the PTLLS qualification. This book has been recommended to all learners!
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.
a great platform for new trainers to gain their PTLLS qualification with the support of.
An excellent book that we are strongly recommending to our learners. Most of the existing class have bought it.
This was highly recommended to learners on the new PTLLS award and we have ordered a copy for our LRC, as well as recommending it to trainees. However, its value is somewhat diminished by the planned changes in teacher training qualifications, so not as much use will be made of it as was hoped, before it will need to be rewritten to meet whatever new course is designed.
Another good text from Gravells - easy to read, with examples and activities to help not only the learner but also the teacher.
The book is easy to read and is explicitly focussed on the course which makes it an invaluable text for the students.
