This book provides both new and existing teachers with information and support for a career in the sector, as it is fully aligned with the latest government requirements making it a timely and key text for the FE field. It emphasises what it means to be a teacher, the centrality of the learner, and the need for teaching to be less about the process and more about the personal. Content delves into a greater focus on subject-based pedagogy and on placements, as well as in-depth coverage of topics related to SEND, digital and online pedagogies, planning teaching and learning and the final assessment/viva. For readers to engage in critical reflection and apply knowledge to practice, the text is packed with critical thinking tasks at level 5 and extension tasks for those working at levels 6 and 7. Evidence-informed practice and research also underpin each chapter.
