New Publications! The Reflective Teaching Series

We are proud to announce that our two books Reflective Teaching in Further, Adult and Vocational Education  (FAVE) and Readings for Reflective Teaching Further, Adult and Vocational Education were published at the end of February  2015, as part of the highly successful  Bloomsbury Reflective Teaching  series. 

“From Aristotle to Vygotsky and from session planning to digital literacies, this book introduces a very wide range of often intriguing and always relevant extracts of writing to inform teachers in further and vocational education. Whilst readings are made accessible through careful editing, this excellent book remains, nonetheless, properly demanding. Here readers will find ideas that will challenge and inspire their practice.” –  Kevin Orr, Reader in Work and Learning, University of Huddersfield, UK - See more  

Reflective Teaching in Further Adult and Vocational Education has been described as the  definitive textbook for all FAVE practitioners. Our book offers extensive support for beginning and experienced teachers through easy to use strategies based on sound theory -informed practice. Drawing on a combination of contemporary  educational research and  personal and  our professional experiences as teacher educators, Reflective Teaching presents practical and easily-accessible guidance  to help teachers improve the quality of their teaching as well as the experiences and achievements of  learners.

Our second book, Readings for Reflective Teaching in Further, Adult and Vocational Education is a unique portable library of seminal readings and contemporary literature from international sources, including books and journals. This book is designed to support both initial teacher education and the continuing ,career-long professional development  of teachers. Introductions to each reading highlight key issues, explore and explain the status of classic  and contemporary works.  In this way the book offers an indispensable companion to our main textbook.
