Course Content - What will I learn?

An employee in this occupation is responsible for helping to prepare each of their Further Education learners for progression to/or within employment or to further study. To deliver this to a diverse group of students, including those with special educational needs, a Learning and Skills Teacher needs to be flexible, innovative, and adaptable, changing their behaviour and teaching style to suit the environment and level of their students. A Learning and Skills Teacher needs to have a sound understanding of pedagogy relevant to learners in Further Education and should regularly engage with robust evidence of effective teaching and learning methods and practice relevant to their subject area(s) within a Further Education and Skills setting. A Learning and Skills Teacher typically has significant autonomy and needs to demonstrate consistently high standards of personal and professional conduct and is accountable for their professional development. A Learning and Skills Teacher may be responsible for the managing of others, as well as managing budgets.
