Synopsis
The overriding issue for many Further Education teachers and trainees is learner disengagement, leading to behavioural issues and a lack of motivation in the classroom. Faced with unmotivated learners on a daily basis, teachers can soon begin to lose their own enthusiasm and confidence. Motivating Unwilling Learners in Further Education offers a range of practical strategies for engaging your learners and reigniting the spark of successful classroom teaching.
Susan Wallace draws on her years of teaching and researching in Further Education to provide an up-to-date selection of strategies and scenarios for managing behaviour and motivating unwilling learners, including tips for
supporting students and meeting curriculum requirements. This is a valuable toolkit of ideas and advice for ensuring that everyone you teach, from school leavers to mature students, reaches their full potential. New & Used

What Reviewers Are Saying
'This is a valuable resource for anyone teaching in Further Education. It's easy to read, flows logically, and gives excellent advice regarding motivation. Susan is an expert in this area, and her advice will help new and existing teachers when motivating unwilling learners. The examples and practical strategies help put theory into practice. I would certainly recommend this book.' -- Ann Gravells, Author 'Motivating Unwilling Learners in Further Education is the book that trainee and established FE teachers have been waiting for. What makes it so impressive is how the author seamlessly weaves theory into her practical advice and does not prescribe desirable strategies, but through real life scenarios challenges the reader to consider alternatives in action as well as their rationales.' -- Andy Armitage, Chair of the Universities' Council for the Education of Teachers Post 16 Committee, formerly an FE teacher educator Focusing on rewards, building positive relationships and encouraging motivation through respect for the self, this book gives even the most bewildered further education teacher the tools required for motivating their students... This is a great little book for individuals who are embarking their teaching careers in the further education sector or those who need refreshment and inspirational ideas to add into teaching methods. -- UKEdChat This book offers helpful tips for tackling disengaged learners. Susan Wallace explores the learning barriers students in further education face: fear, boredom, previous negative experiences and loss of hope and how this impacts the classroom environment. Setting up examples of typical classroom scenarios, four different teaching styles are analysed: rewards, relationship, respect and razzamatazz. Discussing the advantages of these approaches and why they work, the author uses examples of four caricatures of teachers who use the different approaches and explains the benefits in helping learners re-engage. There are also tips for educators to keep themselves motivated. -- The Teacher Magazine, NUT
