One of the key responsibilities I feel for a teacher is to provide information, wisdom. In order to share their knowledge and understanding of a subject or topic a teacher needs to have a deep understanding of the topic that they are teaching. However alongside this a teacher should not claim to know it all, and be willing to learn from their students. ‘Knowledge may be seen as a level of awareness, consciousness or familiarity gained by experience, learning or thinking.’ (Jarvis 1987). It is important that the teacher appreciate any input from their students, whether the answer is correct or not.
A further element is the managerial or normative aspect of supervision and this could explained to some extent as maintaining standards.An awareness of the need to keep up with CPD, personal blind spots and prejudices that affect the the way how both trainee and counselor look at themselves which in turn influence how they see others and the way how they work, so the requirement to contiunaly learn about oneself increases knowledge and understanding which is vitaly important for personal development and growth that will enevitbly enhance thier work with clients. Casework supervision plays an important role as it provides support for the student or practising counselor.They have an
There are various reasons why it is important to identify and meet the individual needs of learners. To form an accurate student-centred individual learning plan (ILP) is necessary to help the student focus on her achievement aims on the course, small steps as to how she will do this, and what help might be needed. This can also inform and clarify student and teacher expectations of each other on the course. The teacher can find out what motivates the learner, for example, a strong desire to progress to a midwifery course following a HNC in Health and Social Care (H&SC). So any learning plan for this student would be centred around this goal, especially self-directed learning and placement provision.
The present society appears to have an identity predicament with the Church, because there is a tremendous amount of self-help propaganda in this society; therefore they simply do not care about a commitment with the Church, but can read about how to be better people in the comfort and safety of their own homes. This concept is safe and they do not open themselves up for disappointment or tedious Church tasks. Billings notes, “Participation in Church life is not seen as crucial for the practice of Christianity, it is the practice of Christianity that British people think important.” (Billings, 2004, p. 104) The British thinking has become a
As a teacher, one of the main roles is to motivate your learners to develop their ability and aspiration to learn. Some may read about delivering training and facilitating learning , but in reality a teacher does much more than that. A teaching role is not just about teaching your subject or preparing learners for assessment. The focus of a teaching role relates very much to inspiring learners to change and develop their personal, social and professional skills to the best of their ability. In this respect, the ultimate aim is to enable learners to understand how to take responsibility for their own development.
It is a impact on what teacher’s can achieve to improve themselves and therefore improve their students but it must all have an interconnection of validity and results. As identified by Darling-Hammond and McLaughlin (2011), “Habits and cultures inside schools must foster critical
Promoting Inclusion Equality And Diversity Within Learners Theory 3 As a tutor my aim is for the students to gain competence in and a full understanding of the subject. In order for students to do this it is important for the tutor to be mindful of the issues concerning equality, diversity and Inclusion. In terms of equality and diversity the relevant factors we must be sensitive to when teaching are disability, sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity and race, age, religious beliefs and economic and social needs of the students. The diverse backgrounds and experiences of individual students are what make teaching so exciting and challenging. The tutor needs to employ a number of strategies to promote inclusive learning to ensure that all the students are involved in the learning process.
Such decisions include a better and thorough understanding of the students´ particular learning styles, their affective needs, and their own personal goals to establish the right balance between teaching and learning. Another essential aspect I need to consider when planning or teaching a lesson is pacing, which again, was one of my biggest problems for this lesson. “Pacing is the extent to which a lesson maintains its momentum and communicates a sense of development. How much time to allocate to each part of the lesson is thus an important decision which teachers must make while planning or teaching a lesson.” (Jack C. Richards, 1997). Thus, I feel I should try the following changes in my teaching to achieve a proper pacing next time I teach a lesson: * Avoid repetitive activities (such as the ones mentioned in exercises 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 in Appendix 3); a variety of activities should be presented
They also need to deal with conflicts in a professiona manner dealing with both their employer and their clients, The Human Service Responsibility to Self They commit their selves to a journey of lifelong learning and to keep improving on their own personal growth to better commit to their job and their clients. Section II- Standards for Human Service Educators Human service educators need to keep themselves updated on the different teaching styles and not be judgemental towards students. They need to let the student express themselves as they want and are offered to discuss what is being learned or taught to them for a better understanding. Human service educators need to be fully commited to their responsibilities as educators as well. They are to uphold professional relationships with their students and to treat all their students equally and fairly.
To be passionate about the subject, the subject of teaching is to be knowledgeable in your subject. In order to be passionate about your subject, you need to practice what you preach. For instance: having a Life Orientation facilitator who practices and works out or a Visual Arts facilitator who practices art. This has an effect to the extent of making you knowledgeable in your subject and you live what you teach. Being passionate means also being passionate about the learners, helping them shape their own knowledge and reaching the standard, but as well being passionate about their lives and who they are- we have to remember that some learners have a need to have a role model.
