This essay will discuss my perception of the role of a teacher in the lifelong learning sector. It will cover a teacher’s roles, responsibilities and boundaries. It will also evaluate different methods of assessment and discuss approaches to embedding inclusive learning and teaching into learning activities. I have broken the essay down into several headings: Roles, responsibilities and boundaries Teaching and learning methods Assessment methods Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Functional skills in the lifelong learning sector. Background For background information, I am studying teaching in order that I can have an understanding of how my students are learning, and some experience of teaching, so that when I come to assess them for their NVQs I appreciate how they got to the point of submitting their workbooks to me.

Classroom Techniques; Cognitive Style; Elementary Education; *Language Arts; Language Experience Approach; *Literacy; Multiple Intelligences; *Student Centered Curriculum; *Theory Practice Relationship *Collaborative Inquiry; Critical Pedagogy; *Meaning Construction ABSTRACT This book is based on the belief that learners who are making meaning draw simultaneously on different dimensions of knowing--different forms of expression, different kinds of ideas, and different cultural frameworks. When honored and recognized in the classroom these differences create a richer way to explore the path to knowledge, according to the book. By stressing that literacy develops across sign systems that can include art, music, and movement, in addition to language, the book encourages "artful" teaching and learning. It argues, in fact, that those most challenged by traditional curriculum will find with this approach the encouragement to shine.
The government plays an important role in developing literacy programs and evaluating the best practices to adopt in schools to ensure that the literacy skills are gained by the children studying. The programs involve all the members of the family and servers individuals at all stages of ages. The processes of literary development involve a process which starts with mistakes but later comes out with perfection as one advance in life and training. The parents should act as an example for their children and guide them in their elementary schools to develop their literacy skills. The teachers help the children develop their skills while in their schools.
Language development in Early Childhood Students Rosetta Billingslea ECE 315 Language Development in Young Children Mrs. Debra Gray June 13, 2011 This essay is based on the information ascertained in Chapters 1-8 of our textbook Language Development in Early Childhood. In this essay I will use information and terminology gained from those chapters in order to demonstrate to you the reader my knowledge and understanding of the concepts of Language Development and Literacy of Young Children shared in those chapters presented above. Throughout my textbook I learned that one of the most important things about Language Development is that it starts with the teacher. Although oral language development is a primary goal in early childhood programs, learning experiences and teaching strategies do not always support this goal. So I feel teachers need to know and be aware of the one-to-one, extended, cognitively challenging conversations and how to engage in such communication, even with students that are reluctant talkers.

How to Activate Prior Knowledge Prior knowledge refers to all of the readers’ experience throughout their lives, including all of information they have learned elsewhere. This knowledge is one of the reading strategies which are very effective for being used in reading comprehension. Furthermore prior knowledge is the most important aspect of the reading experience because it will help students in understanding and remembering what have students read by activating their background knowledge. There are three steps in activating prior knowledge those are pre teaching vocabulary, providing background knowledge and creating opportunities for students to continue building background knowledge. The first step is pre teaching vocabulary in which teacher needs to introduce and review new vocabularies that relate to stories or information they are going to read.
This will involve time management, reading the right learning materials, putting efforts in studies as well as knowing what teachers expect from you. In studying for this module, I was able to read the necessary and core reading books, by reading through the module guides and reflecting back on each lectures. Cottrell (2003) outlined that reflecting is a natural practice, where we reflect back on an event that we were inspired or uninspired by.

The role of the Learning Mentor and the strategies used in supporting English and the impact on pupils’ learning. In this paper I will firstly look at the role of the Learning Mentor and their position within the school setting, then look at the similarities with that of my role as a teaching assistant within the school setting. I will also look at English and the challenges of supporting children in learning phonics/reading and the strategies used to support them. Barriers to learning phonics and reading in my setting will also be discussed in relation to the ideas of what is believed to be good practice and these will be analysed in relation to current practices. I will finally draw conclusions from an evaluation of the above and recommendations made to improve my own professional development within the setting.
