Ann Gravells’ textbooks

The teaching, assessment and quality assurance qualification titles change over time. Ann has written books in the past which reflect these titles and has updated them when they have changed. However, the content of the qualifications and the job roles which teachers, assessors and quality assurers carry out remain very much the same.

Ann has now written three generic books aimed at covering all the teaching, assessment and quality assurance qualifications as well as the relevant job roles. It doesn’t matter what the qualification title might be called now or in the future or which awarding organisation offers it, these three books should meet the required content of them all.

Principles and Practices of Assessment (2015)
Principles and Practices of Quality Assurance (2016)
Principles and Practices of Teaching and Training (2017)
Ann’s first book Delivering Adult Learning was written in 2006 and was aimed at anyone taking the qualification of the same title. This book is no longer in print, but forged the beginning of her writing career and her aim of helping trainee teachers with their role.

Ann is the author of the following text books, many of which are now in new editions (listed here in alphabetical order). Details can be found on her website: www.anngravells.com/books

4.0 out of 5 stars A solid foundation for continuous development

I.P.G. · 1 January 2018

I obtained this as much from, in fact chiefly from, curiosity having done my dues some years ago so I look at this from a slightly different perspective to the out and out student. This is a well organised and a well-written volume, by its nature something to dip into to inform and reinforce, but above all, it is accessible and usable, not just for the student but also for the continuous development of the more seasoned practitioner. As such it meets its stated aims.It is up to date with the UK RQF and is up to date, at least as far as developments within the profession, as far as September 2017, and it is solid on examples and broad in its coverage. I would recommend it as a working text for all practitioners in the Further Education and skills sector, and not just in the UK.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful, covers a lot.
