INTRODUCTION
About the book
This textbook has been written to support the teaching of CCEA GCSE Learning for Life and Work. It was written by teachers who have considerable experience of teaching and assessing Learning for Life and Work in consultation with CCEA. They have drawn on their knowledge and experience to produce a new edition of CCEA GCSE Learning for Life and Work Student Book to meet the 2017 GCSE Learning for Life and Work specification.
The book has three main units, which cover the content of the units in the CCEA GCSE Learning for Life and Work specification:
Local and Global Citizenship
Personal Development
Employability.
The content for each unit is divided into sections which match the content headings in the specification. Each section provides up-to-date, relevant coverage of key topics and issues. Each section:
starts with the key content you are expected to learn and study
highlights the key words you should know the meaning of; these are defined in the Glossary at the end of the book
contains enquiry-based student activities, which provide opportunities for you to develop skills in addition to knowledge and understanding. You are also encouraged to conduct your own research to deepen your understanding of related issues and topics.
You can also find additional information at the front and back of the book:
Skills focusprovides information on the skills and personal capabilities that can be developed through the student activities in the book.
Exam focusexplains the types of examination questions and expected responses, and contains exam practice questions.
