The National Research and Development Centre for Adult Literacy and Numeracy has produced an invaluable new series of research digests aimed at Skills for Life practitioners.
The six-page digests cover eight topics: Numeracy; Working with young adults; Embedded teaching and learning; Motivation and persistence; Literacy, language, numeracy and health; Working with young offenders; Development through practitioner research; and Teacher education. They were commissioned by the Learning and Skills Council to support the Skills for Life Quality Initiative.
