Reviews / Votes
'A very useful text for all teacher training courses specialising in the Lifelong Learning Sector. Each chapter provides valuable theoretical information and activities to complement the taught sessions on Certificate in Education and PGCE courses. It is clearly signposted to the SVUK standards and will provide ideal background reading for teacher training students.' Margaret Juniper, Curriculum Leader in Education, New College Durham, UK 'Without teaching nothing happens. Learning to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector reminds us of this fundamental fact. The book provides a comprehensive, useful and academically sound approach to the business of becoming and remaining a professional educator in the varied contexts of lifelong learning. When beset by bewildering policy changes it helps to have access to a book as supportive as this.' Cliff Jones, Consulting Editor for CPD Update, UKMore details
