This realistic, relevant and accessible book explores the teacher’s role and what makes for effective learning and teaching in the further education sector through means of a fictional approach. It provides a series of linked case study chapters, each set in the same fictional institution and each involving characters, with a range of pertinent roles, who appear and re-appear as their overall story arcs develop. Chapter aims are clearly stated and each narrative is followed by an analysis of key points through challenging critical thinking activities. The clear contextualisation of the required Standards and skills is of particular value to pre-service student teachers and those beginning their careers. The fictional approach provides a picture of working life and professional practice inside a further education institution with the flexibility to explore every topic essential to the student teacher, from professionalism, differentiation and inclusion to behaviour management and student-teacher relationships.

Reviews for Teaching in Further Education: The Inside Story

I found the book really excellent, and the fact that it was written as an almost Novel added to the meaning; it also managed to do this as well as bringing in theory.I will commend it to my colleagues in FE as well as any FE students I encounter. -- Karl Aubrey, Bishop Grosseteste University I particularly liked the case studies which I found realistic and engaging. The critical thinking activities which followed each one were useful and thought provoking. It was also an enjoyable read unlike many education texts which are often as dry as dust. -- Heidi McWade, The College of West Anglia Great for those starting out in teaching - easy to read and scenarios provide examples trainees can relate to.   Concepts are presented  in an accessible way, with good links to relevant theory.   The size of the book is perfect - not a huge, big scary academic textbook that would frighten trainees, particularly those working In vocational areas. -- Janey Burrow, Bromley College
