Improving Maths and English in Further Education provides a strategic, practical and easily applied toolkit for teachers and leaders as they work with students to gain core skills. The book highlights the unique challenges that are faced within the sector and the value of embedding college-wide literacy and numeracy for success, providing a range of strategies to resolve challenges.
 
Structured to make sure that there is always an alternative approach, method or suggestion, the book allows the reader to choose the steps that suit their context best. Each chapter looks at the key priorities:
 
•Identifies a range of potential solutions to a challenge faced in FE
•Acknowledges potential implementation pitfalls and remedies
•Suggests practical takeaways, key considerations and next steps
 
Teachers and staff within further and Post-16 education will find this an essential resource for supporting students studying maths and English.
