Cover of Understanding the Further Education Sector

Those working towards QTLS are required to demonstrate a critical understanding of the Further Education (FE) sector and the role of the FE practitioner. This book clearly identifies, particularly for the student teacher with no prior experience, the social, cultural and political context of the sector's beginnings and explores how this continues to shape and constrain the sector's status and purpose, and the role and status of its teachers. The text encourages critical thinking about possible routes for change and future development. As increasing numbers of QTLS students are being encouraged to gain part of their qualification at M level, the need for an accessible and critical sourcebook about the FE sector, such as this, is essential.

Cover of Managing Behaviour and Motivating Students in Further Education
Widening participation in further education (FE) colleges is attracting a broader range of students. Many of these non-traditional students lack the confidence or the motivation to learn, thus causing problems of classroom and behaviour management which many FE lecturers feel ill-equipped to resolve. This book provides guidance and support to help lecturers manage and motivate students, with key references to learning theory.

Cover of Teaching and Supporting Learning in Further Education
This practical text has been written in response to the development of national standards by FENTO for the qualification of new and in-service teachers in further education. It supports all those working towards a FENTO-endorsed qualification and provides guidance and materials to help teachers meet the standards of practice at all three stages of their professional development.

Teaching in Further Education

by Susan Wallace

Published 19 October 2015

This realistic, relevant and accessible book explores the teacher's role and what makes for effective learning and teaching in the further education sector through means of a fictional approach. It provides a series of linked case study chapters, each set in the same fictional institution and each involving characters, with a range of pertinent roles, who appear and re-appear as their overall story arcs develop. Chapter aims are clearly stated and each narrative is followed by an analysis of key points through challenging critical thinking activities. The clear contextualisation of the required Standards and skills is of particular value to pre-service student teachers and those beginning their careers. The fictional approach provides a picture of working life and professional practice inside a further education institution with the flexibility to explore every topic essential to the student teacher, from professionalism, differentiation and inclusion to behaviour management and student-teacher relationships.

Cover of Mentoring in Further Education
This book provides a source of guidance, support and training materials for those involved with mentoring in colleges of further education. It addresses the relevant aspects of the (FENTO) national occupational standards for Leadership and Management in FE and examines the role of mentoring for professional development through the use of practical case studies. Current theory is presented in an acessible way, illustrated with familiar and pertinent examples.
