This book is for those working towards the Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) standards in the Lifelong Learning Sector. Following 'Planning and Enabling Learning' all learners have the option to take a unit in 'Equality and Diversity' at Levels 3 and 4 as part of their Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (CTLLS) qualification. It is an invaluable resource for achieving this unit and, since the content is rooted in all other units of the new teacher training qualifications, it is of relevance and importance to all learners no matter what their subject specialism. All the learning outcomes for the unit are addressed, there are helpful activities and examples to reinforce the reader's understanding, and chapters are referenced to the professional standards throughout. It will help anyone teaching in a variety of Lifelong Learning settings and can also be used when providing in-service CPD training for staff.
