ABSTRACT
This chapter will introduce the upbeat and positive rationale behind the book, which is essentially that teaching in the post-compulsory sector, although at times challenging, exhausting and frustrating, is also often a hugely enjoyable and rewarding area of work, which makes a contribution to civil society like no other. Guidance on how the book can work for you best, and how it is structured to provide variety and activity is also included, and a ‘call to arms’ to send you all on your way looking forward to your teaching and of course to the rest of the book!
