This invaluable handbook is designed for more experienced teachers in FE who have mastered the basics and are ready to re-visit their professional skills in the classroom. Written by two experienced teacher trainers with over 35 years of experience of FE between them, this practical guide is divided into three key areas: teaching and learning, working with learners and managing the learning process. Ros Clow and Trevor Dawn tackle key issues such as gaining learner interest, using role play, working with the individual learner, managing disruptive behavior, juggling a busy workload, lesson preparation and team-teaching.
