Supplements
Clearly written and well-structured text book, which is pitched appropriately for those considering a career in the POst-Compulsory Sector.
While an excellent book, the specifics do not relate to the award system in Ireland
Great book - full of tips and hints to help students with the Award. Easy to read and a great book to have by your side when discussing FE sector.
Superb and easy to follow book, that clearly identifies the areas that learners need to understand in order to successfully complete the Award in Education and Training
Activities were very useful. Clearly set out and readable. All aspects of teaching is explored which offers much support for new colleagues and good opportunities to deliver CPD demonstrating explicit links from theory to practice.
Essential for teachers and students on ITE courses.
excellent book to support the L3 award clearly set out and clearly referenced to criteria. Easy read
This book is an excellent complement to the Award course (and I have also recommended it for the Level 4 Certificate learners.) It is clear, well-organised and full of practical tips and strategies.
A great book though very similar to Francis's PTLLS book she co-wrote with Jim Gould. If you don't have the PTLLS book and you are doing the AET, then it's definitely worth buying.
We have linked this book to our website as a support book for the Award in Education & Training.
it is clearly and simply written and provides a structured approach to the course.
