Teaching and Training in Post-Compulsory Education » (REV)

Mandy Renwick is Lecturer, Cardiff School of Education, UWIC

Written for use as a textbook in training courses for the British Certificate in Education (Post-Compulsory), this work is not designed to be read cover- to-cover. The authors (the majority from the Department of Post-Compulsory Education, Canterbury Christ Church U. College, UK) instead present self-contained chapters designed to be accessed as appropriate for the course structure. Chapters discuss teacher development, student learning factors, the "management of learning," resources for teaching and learning, assessment, curriculum formation, course design and evaluation, and current trends in post-compulsory education.
