    Promotional Information

    I found it provided a very refreshing and contemporary approach to teaching in FE, recognising that it is a different environment to schools. I particularly liked the way it addresses the commercial aspects of FE teaching, which is often overlooked. It also provides very good links between theory and practice, without getting bogged-down by theorists. -- Susan Hobbs, Northern College It is very easy to dip into. The case studies and the critical thinking activities are very good and will allow for reflection and contextualisation of practice. -- Elaine Battams, Barnfield College I particularly like the section on 'virtues' and values - something I have found us discussing more and more lately. The debate over how much of yourself you reveal to students - e-safety etc - impinges on the issue of teacher influence. When we share ideas about what makes a good teacher, so often it's a question of their values. -- Sandy Stratford, Lincoln College
