Written with level 3 readers firmly in mind, this book offers concise, accessible, one-stop coverage of the Level 3 Award in Education and Training, including the Learning and Development units. It takes account of new policies and legislation, emerging technologies and the current post-compulsory teaching and learning climate. The text encourages reflection of practice throughout, supported by case studies and activities aimed at consolidating and contextualising the information. The content covers the full range of relevant LSIS units, includes a detailed glossary plus chapters on the micro-teach and writing essays and assignments, and is fully mapped to the latest ETF Standards.

Written by the successful team who produced A Complete Guide to the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training and A Complete Guide to the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training.

An accessible text book for students. Lots of practical examples and very clearly written. -- Nicky Hawkins, South Devon College The book is clearly laid out with inclusion of activities and case studies to help learners engage with the information within the text. The book is written with a specific course in mind, thus chapters correlate with particular units of study and advice regarding assessment is directly relevant to those who study for the Award course. -- Heidi McWade, College of West Anglia I like the layout and the fact that it addresses the criteria from the EaT Award directly and clearly. The text is accompanied by useful activity suggestions. I thought the section on essay writing was particularly helpful. -- John Powdrill, Itchen College
