Teaching Adults

This is a survival guide to teaching adults in FE. Amanda Hayes places students at the heart of teaching and learning and provides readers with practical strategies to help them create a stimulating and effective learning environment in college, workplace and community venues.

A wide range of issues are covered including: catering for different learning styles, managing learner's expectations, promoting diversity and social inclusion, learning in the workplace and dealing with punctuality and retention.

A variety of approaches are presented from which the reader can develop effective teaching and support strategies for their own situation and ensure that their adult students successfully gain academic and vocational skills, as well as self confidence.
