Help required

Dear all I would like to ask you a favour. Andrea and I may be writing a book about the Level 3 Award in Education. The schedule is very tight so I am trying to do some preparation. I would like to get some 'soundbites' from trainee/established teachers. If you are able to fill in the questionnaire below (it should take 5 minutes of your time!), I'd be incredibly grateful. You do not need to write your name but I will acknowledge your contribution in the preface if you do - with your agreement, of course! Think of the glory.... Many thanks. Clare

Top tips

Here are the tips for teaching the Entry 1 and Entry 3 classes. I hope you all have a lovely break and don't forget the pronunciation symbols!

Legislation in the Further Education and Skills sector

As a teacher, you will need to adhere to specific legislation in the workplace. Watch the two videos and make a note of the following: 1. What are the nine protected characteristics of the Equality Act 2010? 2. What is the purpose of the Health and Safety Act?

Is PPP old hat

Watch the clip. Scott Thornbury is talking about PPP. Please add your comments below. What do you think about the method? It is one we use on the CELTA course, essentially because of convenience and time restrictions.
