asking questions such as ‘what happens if you do....?’ Using praise & encouragement to help pupils participate fully in the learning Observing pupil responses during the learning activity Question 3: Make a list of things expected of you as part of your role in supporting an individual pupil or group of pupils. Things that would be expected of me as part of my role in supporting an individual or small group are: Understanding the pupils learning support needs Listening to the pupils Enabling the pupil to access the
1.1 Teaching Role and responsibilities in education and Training The teacher should be qualified to teach the learners, and be able to identify key aspects of related current legislation and know how to challenge discriminatory behaviour and attitudes. They should be well prepared for their lesson, be able to provide the correct resources and information relevant to the course and be knowledgeable about the subject or in the case of covering for another teacher, know where to find information in order to answer questions from learners. Teachers should make an initial assessment the needs of learners prior to starting the course in order to assess their suitability to the course there are delivering. Lessons should be prepared and sessions well planned. Establishing good ground rules at the start of the lessons are an important part of the teacher’s role to ensure everyone has clear expectations within the classroom environment, this helps to ensure appropriate behaviour and respect for others within the class.
I would also think of how I could support the children through the lesson, and which of those children may need extra support. 2. What might be your roll in organising, using and maintaining the learning resources, materials and equipment? When organising equipment for the lesson, I would prepare resources/materials ahead of the lesson. Ensuring that I know where resources/equipment is stored.
It represents a cluster of personality and mental characteristics that influence how a pupil perceives, remembers, thinks, and solves problems,” (Morrison, 2006:186). ELT practitioners must realize that there are many different learning styles, as well as personality types within the classroom and being assertive on identifying our students’ needs and developmental areas according to their learning preferences will lead them to acquire knowledge in a more natural way. For this assignment, I will describe and evaluate the differences in learners response to the activities developed in a regular grammar lesson based on their motivation, age and learning styles. I will also talk about the strategies that I will use to evaluate that learner’s progress has taken place and consider ways in which the quality of learning can be improved. II.
In particular how they keep the classroom under control but also make it a fun place to learn. I will also look closely at the learner, this being the child. They need to be mentally stimulated, otherwise concentration is lost. I want to look closely at how this level of concentration can be obtained and at what levels and at what time span does their mind begin to wander. I will also look at behavioural patterns within classrooms, from this I will see how behaviour can be kept under control to make the classroom effective.
Engage CBIs children in self-management, which involve; self-control, self-instruction, self-evaluating, self-monitoring, and self-reinforcement. (Yell et al., 2009) Procedures of CBI In Cognitive Behavioral Intervention programs, children are encouraged to manage their behaviors by using reinforcement to help promote acceptable behavior. Through the CBI procedures children are engaged in observation, keeping records, and reinforcement. In many behavioral management strategies, the teacher controls the procedures of observation, record keeping, and reinforcement. Through the implementation of CBI, the target student, thus promoting self-management, accountability for actions, and independence, completes three procedures.
I will finally draw conclusions from an evaluation of the above and recommendations made to improve my own professional development within the setting. According to the Department for Education website (26 April 2012): Learning mentors support, motivate and challenge pupils who are underachieving. They help pupils overcome barriers to learning caused by social, emotional and behavioural problems. Learning mentors need good listening skills and an understanding of health and social issues that affect children and young people's development. The mentors mainly work with children who experience 'barriers to learning', including poor literacy/numeracy skills, under-performance against potential, poor attendance, disaffection, danger of exclusion, difficult family circumstances and low self-esteem.
Project based assignments can add a rigorous element to a course. When well-constructed so that students use higher order thinking skills, these projects can assess how well students meet the course standards while providing a student centered, rigorous assessment of multiple skills. Learning Outcomes Developing learning outcomes is a vehicle for educational improvement. It propels you to think critically about what you are doing, how and why you are doing it, and how well you are doing it. It ensures that you articulate learning clearly for students.
Unit 001: Essay on the Roles, responsibilities and relationships in lifelong learning. This is an analysis of roles, responsibilities and relationships in Lifelong Learning; by defining them in the context of teaching, and explaining the importance of promoting appropriate behaviour in the classroom. I will explore teachers responsibilities for identifying and meeting the needs of learners by encouraging and enabling all learners to reach their full potential; roles and responsibilities in promoting equality and diversity; relationships between teachers and other professionals, identifying boundaries and reviewing points of referral to appropriate support persons/agencies to meet the needs of learners; responsibilities for establishing and maintaining a safe and supportive learning environment; and compliance with key aspects of legislation and codes of practice relating to the role of teachers. There are numerous roles and responsibilities are numerous that teachers will undertake daily. According to Wilson (2009), roles describe functions of teachers.
Deciding how the school can encourage pupils’ spiritual, moral and cultural development | Senior management team | Work with the Headmaster which shares the responsibilities for all aspects of school leadership and management. | Planning and directing the work of groups of individuals, monitoring their work and taking corrective action when necessary. | Teachers | Plan, prepare and deliver lessons to meet the needs of all pupils by setting and marking work and recording pupil development as necessary. | Help pupils improve education for their future, identify emotional, intellectual and physical issues which may hinder or reflect on pupils learning to their full potential. Present a caring but professional approach and to show respect to pupils and teach them to respect others.
