New qualifications for those teaching and training in the FE sector became effective in September 2007. The reform of initial teacher training and the professionalisation of the workforce in the sector require a commitment to engage in continuing professional development. The rational for the book is contained in the argument that improvement of quality in teaching and learning in the sector is not achieved exclusively through short-term external professional development and training activities. Moreover it requires ongoing workplace learning which is long-term in focus and practice-orientated and work-based. In order to improve future practice it needs to be embedded in critical reflection and evaluation of workloads. The purpose of the book is to introduce the notion that there is an opportunity for every teacher to develop their role through their workloads, e.g. workloads are a vehicle for professional development. Ways to achieve this are identified by exploring the practice of experienced and successful teachers. The author then goes on to offers guidelines for promoting constructive practice, which is using the outcomes of reflection in the workplace to achieve role development.

The three main sections of the book explore key aspects of * being trainers : the pressures and stresses involved, issues of gender and power; the complexities of co-training * elements of training : academic and voluntary settings; negotiated and reflective learning; assessment; issues arising from the functions of groups * experiences of being trainees : first hand accounts from practitioners of the challenges they faced in their training. The counsellors, trainers and supervisors who share their research and experience as reflective practitioners provide a clear analysis of the balancing act involved in any adult learning.

Many leader development models are complex. Figuring them out (let alone implementing them) can seem impossible. Dr. Lybarger draws on his years of experience serving clients in the public sector to highlight seven practices that good leaders master in this practical, easy-to-follow guidebook. The practices are not linear but interlaced, and when woven together, they create a complex tapestry of leadership behaviors. In examining the seven practices, the author answers questions such as: • Why do some public service employees love their work and remain engaged while others disengage and do the minimum? • What does it take for love, belonging, and community to dispel fear, disengagement, and isolation? • What sustains those who are engaged and motivated to serve the public? Other topics include what leaders can do to help those who are floundering flourish, ways to promote a culture of respect, and the differences between managers and leaders. Although traditional leadership models have not kept pace with the demands of the workplace, individuals who are pillars of exemplary public service leadership can guide their public service peers to successful leadership.
