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.

Cover of Managing Behaviour in the Lifelong Learning Sector
This latest edition provides clear advice and practical ideas on how to manage and motivate students, a key part of achieving QTLS. Fully updated to include the LLUK Standards, it takes account of the variety of contexts within the Lifelong Learning Sector and links to recent and current learning theory, drawing on the findings of research projects into student behaviour within the sector. Based firmly on what teachers and students have to say about their experiences, it uses case studies, dialogue and journal extracts to explore key issues and to help trainees and teachers develop professional expertise.

Cover of Doing Research in Further Education and Training
Research is an essential component of professional practice. Whether it be action research in a specialist subject or a more formal empirical study, research can improve the quality of teaching and and enhance professional development. This text is a guide to a range of approaches written specifically for teachers and trainee teachers in the Further Education and Skills Sector.

The text covers all aspects of research and explores how research through day-to-day investigations can enhance practice. In all chapters, examples and real-life scenarios from the Further Education and Skills Sector are included, helping the reader to link theory and practice. Whether you need to complete a research project for your teaching qualification, or you need to understand how action research can support your professional development, this text will give you the essential, focused guidance you need.

Cover of Teaching, Tutoring and Training in the Lifelong Learning Sector
This core text provides comprehensive support for pre-service and in-service trainee teachers in the Lifelong Learning Sector covering all they need to know to achieve QTLS status. Supporting trainees through all stages of their professional development, the text takes the reader through the theoretical background underpinning teaching and learning and offers practical guidance on day-to-day challenges. This fourth edition has been fully revised and updated and includes a new chapter on teaching practice with notes on observation and lesson planning. New information on behaviour management has been added to support trainees in an aspect of teaching that many find challenging.
