Developing an understanding of professional practice is essential for anyone training to teach in the further education and skills sector. This go-to guide will give you a clear understanding of the major topics covered in the mandatory Wider Professional Practice and Development unit of the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training, and more broadly explores the value of professionalism to all aspects of further education. Key coverage includes: * Understanding learners and attitudes to learning * How to do action research * Professional observation and development * Making sense of education policy * Teacher expectations * Challenges to equality and diversity * The inclusive curriculum These topics are discussed within a wider political and socio-economic context, and are supported by insightful case studies and activities. This is essential for anyone studying the Diploma in Education and Training, and recommended reading for related courses in the further education and skills sector.

This informative and accessible text will be welcomed by teachers, trainers and - most of all - trainee teachers in the further education sector, for whom it offers a wealth of information and support. I particularly like the way it encourages the reader to reflect on key issues and practices -- Susan Wallace Few textbooks are both practical and insightful. Few textbooks are both well researched and relevant to the immediate concerns of practitioners. Few textbooks combine the critical with the constructive. Few textbooks are written to make policy personal. This book is all of these things and is a tremendous resource for teacher educators and will be much appreciated and enjoyed by trainee teachers during their initial teacher education studies. -- Stephen Ball
