Book Synopsis
Based on the Transforming Lives research project, this book explores the transformative power of further education.
The book outlines a timely and critical approach to educational research and practice, and draws extensively on the testimonies of students and teachers to construct a model of transformative teaching and learning. It critiques reductive 'skills' policies in further education and illuminates the impact colleges and lifelong learning have on social justice outcomes for individuals, their families and communities.
For trainee teachers, teachers, leaders, researchers and policy makers alike, the book presents a persuasive argument for transformative approaches to teaching and learning, and highlights the often unmeasured and under-appreciated holistic social benefits of further education.
