Description
Offering a new approach for Further Education and vocational educators, this practical guide provides the tools and techniques necessary to trace and map professional identities, consider how these evolve and recognise continuing professional development needs. Exploring the theoretical grounding and key tools in the form of Likert scales and networks of enterprises, this practical guide is packed full of useful tips and case studies that illustrate the practical applications of the tools and the benefits of using them. With key examples drawn from FE and vocational teachers working across the sector, this book is designed to provide insight and CPD guidance for anyone grappling with two or more professional identities. In a changing professional landscape where teachers are expected to fulfill multiple roles simultaneously, this book has the power to reshape how teachers reflect on their dual or multifaceted identities. Exploring your Further Education Teacher Identity is essential reading for vocational FE teachers and their managers, trainee teachers and teacher educators who want to better understand their professional identities and feel more in control of where they position themselves.
