Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector
Further Education and Skills
Please note: This book has since been updated to reflect the new title of the qualification: The Award in Education and Training.The qualification unit content contained in the appendices has since changed, and some legislation mentioned in the book has been updated.
This book is essential and will be on the reading list for my PTLLS courses.
This book is essential reading to get a grip on the new standards for tutor and learner alike. It also provides a springboard for further research and links to the criterion of the new standards - excellent! I always recommend that my learners obtain a copy and I refer to it frequently.
As ever a useful summary of the essential course knowledge for the 6302.
Ann Gravells' texts are always received well by students. The topics covered are directly related to the 20 credit PTLLS module we deliver.
We are trialing this book within the department and it has been a useful additon to our resources.
Essential reference for the new 4 unit qualification set out in a straight forward and logical manner. Suitable for those completing at level 3 or 4.
Helpful text - but PTLLS status now unclear so we may not move forward with programmes as anticpated
An excellent text that I recommend to all PTLLS students as being a sound starting point for their course and as a springboard to other texts.
A much improved publication inclusive of new practices. The book provides a comprehensive Introduction which provides a list of qualifications for teaching and learning. Jargon busted in an easy accessible read for all levels.
Gravells covers the same aspects included in the Ptlls qualification but in greater depth and she has expanded on areas not previously looked at in previous editions.
User friendly layout makes it easy to access the required information. The Micro Teaching section will be of particular use to new teachers and the learners of Pttls.
The Appendix sections 1 – 9 breaks down in detail the criteria a learner has to attain in order to reach a Level 3 or Level 4 in the Ptlls qualification.
Overall a much expanded text book from the earlier editions which goes into greater depth and addresses the criteria along with the use of new technology in teaching.
This should be the accompanying read for all new to teaching and training.
an excellent read and informative insight into teaching.
