Over the last five years, a wealth of resources for a wide range of subjects has been developed through the Teaching and Learning Programme.

Teachers, tutors and trainers in the further education (FE) system work with a very wide range of learners in colleges, in work-based learning organisations, in adult learning, in prisons, in voluntary and community organisations and in the workplace. These resources have been developed in consultation with them and their learners as well as other subject and national experts.

These subject-based resources are designed to be used by those wishing to:

• explore more effective or different ways of teaching or planning learning
• tackle 'hard to teach' or 'hard to learn' topics in their curriculum in new ways
• improve or extend their own professional practice
• construct dynamic action plans to meet the regulatory requirements for 30 hours (or pro rata) continuing professional development.

In addition, these resources can be used by:

• teacher educators working with teachers to gain initial teacher training qualifications
• Subject Learning Coaches working with their peers to improve teaching and learning
• curriculum, quality and Information and Learning Technology (ILT) managers working with their teams to improve practice.
