Description
For trainee teachers, teachers, leaders, researchers and policymakers alike, this is a persuasive argument for transformative approaches to teaching and learning which highlights the often unmeasured and under-appreciated strong holistic social benefits of further education. Based on the Transforming Lives research project, this book explores the transformative power of further education. Outlining a timely and critical approach to educational research and practice, the book draws extensively on the testimonies of students and teachers to construct a model of transformative teaching and learning. The book critiques reductive 'skills' policies in further education and illuminates the impact colleges and Lifelong Learning have on social justice both for individuals, their families and communities.
