The Essential Guide series will help inexperienced teachers, or those training to teach; each book in the series offers practical advice and tips on everyday classroom issues.
The last few years have seen widespread and fundamental changes in the lifelong learning and schools' sectors, focusing on the learning and qualifications of young people aged 14-19. One of the most significant changes has been the planning and implementation of the 14-19 diplomas. The Essential Guide to Teaching 14-19 Diplomas is a practical guide which provides a framework for trainees, NQTs and the wider workforce involved in teaching the new 14-19 diplomas. It offers a practical approach, and is a student-friendly and 'hands-on' resource for use in the classroom.
