The use of journals assisted them tracking their thoughts which led to their behaviors in the classroom. The teachers realized pre and post thoughts were different. Cognitive coaching includes skills that are necessary for our future leaders. When teachers can learn from each other the impact on the student’s is priceless. The best way to learn is to teach.
I would need to know if I will be working on a 1:1 basis or with a group so I can plan accordingly. During the lesson I would be constantly monitoring each student that I am working with to ensure participation and understanding in the tasks set. I would be aware of the desired learning outcome and would be asking questions such as “what have you learnt today?” or “can you tell me one thing you now know after the lesson that you didn’t know before?” After the lesson I would discuss with the teacher what progress has been made and the level of the students engaging and what if anything the students have found particularly easy or difficult. On a termly basis I would feed back any issues that I have found with the students I have worked with, this is done in a meeting form so alternative provisions can be made if
Unit 307 (1.5) Explain how assessment for learning can contribute to planning for the future learning carried out by :- (a) the teacher Teachers should think about the strategies they use when pupils carry out formal assessed tasks. (Consider baseline assessment at the start of a topic to assess prior knowledge. If assessment shows lack of understanding, stop and address how to overcome understanding) Teachers must think about and plan their questions carefully. Feedback from pupils enables the teacher to assess whether the pupils completely understand what they have been learning. Teachers can analyse performance using tests or questioning the pupils after completing an activity.
UNIT 2 - Support learning activities 1.1 Describe how a learning support practitioner may contribute to the planning, delivery and review of learning activities. As a teaching assistant you will contribute with the teachers to planning, delivery and review of learning activities. As a teaching assistant time should be made to discuss and review pupils’ work with teachers, this can be formal or informal. Planning, teaching and evaluation follow a cycle which gives structure to the learning process. EVALUATING TEACHING - Supporting the teacher in delivering the plan with a child or group of children.
There are two different types of assessment, assessment for learning and assessment of learning. Assessment for learning is used to inform and guide instruction as well as diagnosis any misconceptions a student may have. Assessment of learning is used after the learning has already occurred to determine the level of understanding the student has achieved and to see if they have mastery of the standard. Within this component teachers can indicate which type of assessment they will use to guide instruction whether it be a pencil/paper test or assessing students using 21st century skills. Differentiation: When providing differentiation in the classroom the teachers provide instruction to meet or exceed each individual student.
Introduction In this assignment I am going to cover the role of the teacher, the responsibilities that they have in the education and training environment. I will also discuss how to maintain a safe and supportive learning environment for your learners. To end the essay I will discuss the relationship teachers have with other professionals who work in the education and training arena. The teaching role and responsibilities in education and training 1.1 Explain the teaching role and responsibilities in education A teacher adopts many roles within the learning environment and has many responsibilities. One of the key responsibilities I feel for a teacher is to provide information, wisdom.
The instructor guides the student to learn for themselves but provides information along the way. It’s up to the student to decide if reading the
Danielle Gallagher Unit 303 Support learning activities Outcome 1 Contribute to planning learning activities 1.1 Explain how a learning support practitioner may contribute to the planning, delivery and review of learning activities Although the class teacher is primarily responsible to plan, deliver and review all learning activities for the class, a teaching assistant can work alongside the teacher and make contributions that can improve the teachers plan, alter the delivery to make it more effective for pupil attainment and extend the teachers initial review. “Planning, teaching and evaluation follow a cycle which gives structure to the learning process” and is vital in my role as a teaching assistant. I aim to describe how I aide the teacher to plan and deliver lessons and how I give feedback to the teacher about individual pupils, in order for the teacher make improvements in her planning and to be able to target individual children that are struggling. I will also give an example at the end to show how I effectively assisted in planning, delivery and the review of a lesson. Planning - the teacher will ask her staff to look over her planning and to give an opinion on it, if the staff feel there could be any improvements then they will tell the teacher.

Unit one in this class first involved the class picking values we thought were important to make a caring learning environment. As we shared our reasons for picking the values on a discussion board, the class was involved in cooperative learning. In other words, we helped others evaluate their own values by providing input and suggestions. In this way, I believe this section in particular of Unit one and the discussion boards in general addressed our continuing professional development: TPE 13. Another aspect of Unit one was identifying and categorizing our intelligences.
