Diploma in Teaching text book

  • This book is the starting point for anyone working towards the Diploma in Teaching (DiT) qualification in the Further Education and Skills sector. Other books are also available.

  • It's also relevant for apprentice FE teachers and anyone working towards a CertEd/PGCE/PGDE, or continuing professional development for current teachers. 

  • It is written in my usual style, co-authored with Gavin Lumsden of Essential Teaching UK and published by Sage.

  • Documents and website links which are referred to within the chapters of the book are accessible via a Padlet, created by Gavin Lumsden of Essential Teaching UK.

  • The book is written in an accessible language and in a logical way, similar to my previous books. 

  • Activities are included throughout to help you think about how to put theory into practice for learners aged 14 and upwards. This could be in any environment where learning takes place, such as a college; training organisation; the workplace; a further or higher education context.

  • There are real examples of teaching scenarios which bring the content to life, along with helpful hints and lots of figures, tables and bullet lists.

  • Resources for the Diploma in Teaching (DiT) are created by Gavin Lumsden and available via Essential Teaching's website.

  • A video and a reading list are available. Please note, the resources are created by Gavin Lumsden, not me.
