Statutory guidance sets out the requirement for every school to have a named careers leader. They are expected to lead, manage and co-ordinate the school’s careers programme, across all eight Gatsby Benchmarks.

Updated throughout to reflect changes in policy and education, the second edition continues to offer practical advice and ideas for planning, developing and maintaining an excellent careers programme. Highlighting the latest resources and support available, it also gives you plentiful tools – both in the book and in additional online materials - to help you become an outstanding careers leader. Whether you are already a careers leader, about to become one, or are involved in the training of future careers leaders, this is the book for you!Trade ReviewMany books are described as 'indispensable', but this is exactly that....This book helps the careers leader to bring together good practice and produce a vision, answering questions such as where to start, how to embed Gatsby benchmarks, who to work with and how to grow provision. The online materials are a bonus and make the job more manageable.

Open University Press Using Experience For Learning
Book SynopsisWhat are the key ideas that underpin learning from experience? How do we learn from experience? How does context and purpose influence learning? How does experience impact on individual and group learning? How can we help others to learn from their experience? "Using Experience for Learning" reflects current interest in the importance of experience in informal and formal learning, whether it be applied for course credit, new forms of learning in the workplace, or acknowledging autonomous learning outside educational institutions. It also emphasizes the role of personal experience in learning: ideas are not separate from experience; relationships and personal interests impact on learning; and emotions have a vital part to play in intellectual learning. All the contributors write themselves into their chapters, giving an autobiographical account of how their experiences have influenced their learning and what has led them to their current views and practice.

Tapir Academic Press Adult Education in Great Britain, Norway & Spain:
Book SynopsisThe rapid development and the increased competition in the labor market make continuing education a necessity for an increasing number of people. Equal opportunities for adults to engage in education are therefore important in order to combat exclusion from the labor market. To increase the provision of equality in opportunity for engagement in education we need to understand the psychological processes involved in participation in education. This report presents results from a European Commission Leonardo da Vinci-supported study of adult education in Great Britain, Norway, and Spain. The purpose of the project was, in a comparative perspective, to analyze psychological processes involved in participation and non-participation in adult education. The study focuses on the scale of participation, both in general and in different types of courses: which groups of adults participate the most, motivational aspects of participation, barriers to learning, conceptions of learning, and perceived benefits of adult education.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Adult Literacy as Social Practice
Book SynopsisWith a radically new perspective on reading, writing and mathematics for adults, this refreshing and challenging book shows how teachers and curriculum developers have much to gain from understanding the role of literacy in learners'' lives, bringing in their families, social networks and jobs. Looking at the practicalities of how teachers and students can work with social practice in mind, Adult Literacy as Social Practice is particularly focused on:* how a social theory of literacy and numeracy compares with other theoretical perspectives* how to analyze reading and writing in everyday life using the concepts of social literacy as analytical tools, and what this tells us about learners'' teaching needs* what is actually happening in adult basic education and how literacy is really being taught* professional development.With major policy initiatives coming into force, this is the essential guide for teachers andTrade Review'This book is a very welcome addition to an increasing literature on ALLN, how it is defined, how it is used and what the implications are for practitioners and learners. In particular, this volume has a key aim to introduce readers to the social practice view of literacy and its implications for teaching and learning ALLN.' - London Review of Education"The book assumes no prior knowledge of the topic and will serve as invaluable background reading for both students and experienced workers in the fields of literacy, TESOL, social work, and other education programmes...Papen certainly achieves her aim: to illustrate how a view of literacy from a social practice perspective lends itself well to ethnographic research." - TESL-EJ, December 2006, Volume 10, Number 3Table of Contents1.
