Learning and teaching

Teachers in the lifelong learning sector work with colleagues and their learners to provide varied and meaningful learning activities supported by effective learning resources, promoting a positive learning environment.

They are committed to:

maintaining an inclusive, equitable and motivating learning environment
applying and developing own professional skills to enable learners to achieve their goals
communicating effectively and appropriately with learners to enhance learning
collaboration with colleagues to support the needs of learners
using a range of learning resources to support learners.

(From LLUK's New overarching professional standards for teachers, tutors and trainers in the lifelong learning sector.)

In this section you will find resources from the Teaching and Learning Programme that you can use to support initial teacher education and professional development in these areas.
