Award in Education and Training text book

New edition

It’s ten years since the book was published, and as the qualification isn’t going to be updated for a while, I feel it’s time to refresh it to ensure the content is current. I'm hoping for the 2nd edition to be published around Easter 2025 (or earlier if I get my act together!).

As it’s a level 3 book aimed at beginner teachers, I don’t want to add too much, or make too many changes to it.

I would love some feedback from users, and I would be grateful if you could answer the five questions on the form below (after reading 'possible changes include' - below). You can also add any comments if you wish.

No personal data is asked for and the survey is anonymous. However, you can contact me directly if you wish.

The form is available until 30th September 2024. The results will be published on this page at the beginning of October.

Thank you!

Changes include:

  • Checking all content is current, for example, legislation

  • Adding more about using technology for teaching, learning and assessment (including online safety and artificial intelligence - AI)

  • Updating the theories to add current thinking – but not to become too theoretical

  • Inclusion of: sustainability; neurodiversity; British Values; Prevent Duty; GDPR (albeit very briefly)

  • Cross-referencing each chapter to the 2024 Learning and Skills Teacher Occupational Standards (instead of the learning outcomes and assessment criteria of the current qualification which might change at some point)

  • Removing the learning outcomes and assessment criteria from the appendices

  • Moving and updating these two documents from within the chapters to go in the appendices: Educational abbreviations and acronyms; Checklist for teaching, learning and assessment

  • Moving the ‘theory focus’ from the end of each chapter to become one comprehensive reference list at the back of the book

  • Changing the wording of 'extension activities' to become 'theory into practice'

  • Adding ‘helpful hints’ to each chapter
