ABSTRACT

The emergence of the new 14-19 sector raises huge learning and teaching issues for both schools and colleges of further education. A new generation of skilled and flexible professionals will need to be trained and re-trained. Teachers in both sectors are understandably nervous about the impending changes. Covering everything a teacher needs to know about learning and teaching across these phases, this book:

  • supports recent government policy initiatives for the 14-19 sector
  • covers how to teach the 14-19 age phase in both schools and colleges
  • addresses issues of concern for both teachers and college lectures
  • helps both groups appreciate the background and rationale of the other sector.

With a FAQ format, lots of practical advice and illustrative case studies, this book will be vital for all practitioners, experienced and trainee, in both secondary and post-compulsory education.
