Offender Learning This e-resource fulfils several functions. Teachers - who are considering, or expecting, to start teaching in a custodial environment will gain a thorough understanding of the context, processes and environment of offender education. Mentors - who work with a colleague who is teaching within a custodial environment will better understand the context in which the mentee is working. Trainee Teachers - will enrich their understanding of the wider Lifelong Learning Sector. Teacher Education Providers - can build this resource into their Diploma programme to support the Level 5 Unit of Assessment - Continuing Personal and Professional Development.
