The institute for learning states that: reflective practice – taking personal responsibility to improve professional practice through thinking about practice, discussion with colleagues and learners and taking appropriate action to improve – is required of all teachers (lifelong learning UK, 2009, P12). A teacher working full time is expected to demonstrate at least 30hrs of CPD every year. As a consequence teachers today cannot simply participate in courses or events, they must also reflect on the experience, evaluate the findings and keep a record of their reflections. Reflective practice is a term often used in educational pedagogy and involves the practitioner constantly and critically appraising teaching and learning. As a teaching practitioner I often take time to think about how my lesson had gone, sometimes very simple, practical issues came to mind e.g.
They teach academic lessons and various skills that students will need to attend college and to enter the job market. Every child should have a caring adult in their lives. And that's not always a biological parent or family member. It may be a friend or neighbor. Often times it is a
Unit 332 Engage in personal development in health, social care or children’s and young peoples settings (1.1, 1.2, 3.1) Sam Darroch Date 24.03.2014 I have evaluated my practice as outstanding with some elements of good.

Interact with key targeted learner(s) in all parts of the lesson – enabled to do this by the adult leading the learning. Use appropriate resources to support and drive learning effectively. Are very well managed by adults leading learning.

As adolescence was seen as a separate stage to adulthood, the latter half of the nineteenth century saw a move to accommodate young people, both legislatively and physically, separately from adults in ‘recognition that young people’s needs were of a different order from those of adults’ (Youth in Context, page 185). Early forms of residential care such as industrial schools which were established to care for ‘neglected’ children and reform schools for adolescents, who had committed offences, relied

In an article called the impact of Authentic Literacy Instruction on Adult Literacy practices shows that teaching adults to understand English as it correlates to their daily lives makes a significant difference. Where traditional practices in the classroom are helpful to some students, authentic learning practices such as role playing and mimicking real life situations to make connections for the adults helps many other students (Purcell-Gates Et all. 2002). These practices can be used everyday anywhere at any given time. Inevitably, creating a connection visually realistically or even hypothetically can simplify the concepts of grammar, listening speaking and writing
I am presently completing a PGCE in Secondary English at the UOM. I would like to apply for the post of full time English teacher at NCHS School which I saw advertised on TES. During my time as a PGCE student on placement at your school NCHS School and at MEA, I have found a love for teaching which I know will only increase as my skills advance. I thrive on being presented with challenges and finding ways to overcome them. My skills in reflecting on my own work have developed and I set myself daily targets, ensuring I meet them.
The purpose of higher learning allows growth while broadening my perspective to help educate others. The complete and concise curriculum allows me to prioritize my daily routines to become an enhanced student and educator. My concerns and difficulties were at a low level during this module because of the great support system provided in the GCU program.

The final outcome entails personal, academic, and career goals that will be gained during my pursuit of higher
