Sinopsis

By 2010 the Government requiresáalláteaching staffáin the Lifelong Learning Sector to gain the QTLS (Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills) teaching qualification.á In addition to the new qualification, all those training to teach in the post compulsory/FE sector must alsoáhave reached an acceptable skill level in literacy, numeracy andáICT before they qualify, this is referred to asáâÇÖthe minimum coreâÇÖ and states that literacy skills must be equivalent to a level 3 qualification (A Level standard) and numeracy skillsámust beáequivalent to level 2 (GSCE).áá Thisáaims to be theáfirst core textbookáin theámarketáto support those undertaking initial teacher training in the post-compulsory/learning and skills sector (formerly FE).áThe text isástructured in line with the requirements and specifications of the minimum core and therefore guides students to achieve the minimum coreáand pass the new national tests in order to achieve their QTLS qualification.á This is achieved by developing the studentâÇÖs personal knowledge, skills, and strategies in order to ensure that theyásupport their ownástudents when they start teaching/training themselves. In addition a self-audit ofánumeracy skills is available online in order to identify areas of personal strengths and weakness. á
