In order to successfully maintain proper order in the classroom, we must engulf a vast amount of actions, such as classroom climate, parental involvement, environment, student expectations, rewards and consequences, classroom procedures, and student motivation. My general belief about managing the behavior of children/youth in the classroom is that no child is totally the blame, and therefore disciplinary practices should mirror the school and classroom policies implemented by the teacher. Also, parental involvement in the disciplinary process is a must. In the pursuit of proper classroom management and to avoid misbehavior; appropriate curriculum and teaching strategies must be considered. In this we must consider class size, composition, planning time, cultural and linguistic barriers, and access to equipment, materials and other needed resources.
Roles, responsibilities and relationships in lifelong learning 1. Understand own role and responsibilities in lifelong learning 1.1 Summarise key aspects of legislation, regulatory requirements and codes of practice relating to own role and responsibilities Legislation is a really important part of lifelong learning and as a teacher I should have an understanding of them. A few of the legislations that I think are vital to be wary of as a teacher are: • Disability Discrimination Act 1995 • Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 • Sex Discrimination Act 1975 • Equality Act 2010 • Race Relations Act 1976 • Data Protection Act 2008 Disability Discrimination Act 1995 ensures that as a facilitator I do not change the way I act or teach with learners if they have special needs, or disabilities. I should make sure my classroom is adapted to their needs but not make them feel inferior. Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 covers the regulations of workplace health and safety.
| The professional educator does not reveal confidential information concerning students, unless required by law. (AAE, 2001)They maintain confidentiality for student privacy in cooperation with federal mandates and personal ethics; as well demonstrate responsibility in areas of leadership, assessment, and organization. (COE-GCU Framework, 2010) | Priority Ranking: 1As a professional we are given access to information about students from developmental and intellectual needs to home life. This information is entrusted to teachers as professionals. | The professional educator does not intentionally misrepresent official policies of the school or educational organizations, and clearly distinguishes those views from his or her own personal
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. The teacher should be ready to teach, be on time and available to greet learners on arrival to their lesson. Recording attendance at all teaching sessions is the responsibility of the teacher. It is important to be approachable with an open, friendly attitude whilst always working within professional boundaries and always respecting confidentiality. The teacher should have the ability to check learners understanding during lessons.
Unit 008 (Level 4) Roles, Responsibilities and relationships in lifelong learning Learning Outcome 1 Understanding own role and responsibilities in lifelong learning 1.1 There are a number of regulatory requirements and legislation, as well as codes of practice that must be followed when teaching. A summary of these is as follows: • Children Act (2004) and Safeguarding which requires teaching to incorporate being healthy, staying safe etc, and having the responsibility for protecting the learners from harm. • The Equality Act (2010) is in place to ensure that no person may be discriminated against regardless of race, sex, religion, age or sexual orientation. • The Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) provides the legislation for occupational health and safety at work. This puts the onus on both the employer and employee to work in a safe environment, and to protect others against taking risks that would put themselves and others at risk.
Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 is a law that provides protection for the self and others in the workplace. It is the duty of every employer to make sure their employees are aware of Legislation by providing training and instruction. This is implemented in our school by carrying our regular risk assessments and ensuring that all staff are trained on all aspects of health and safety. The school must have up to date posters and that we ensure that there is an effective way of reporting hazards to the appropriate person. Policies ensure guidelines to protect pupils, staff, parents, visitors and contractors when on the school premises, this includes how risks can be controlled and who is responsible for this.
The policies include guidance: Behaviour policy :( Promoting appropriate behaviour in the children and discouraging inappropriate behaviour) The school’s behaviour policy is very important because this policy gives guidelines to all members of staff how they can manage children behaviour. In my setting there is a code of conduct policy help to manage the children’s behaviour effectively and in a manner appropriate to their stage of development and their individual needs and make sure staff and children keep calm when dealing with inappropriate behaviour. In my setting class teacher ensure that both sides of the story are heard and dealt with consistently. .

The ADEPT system greatly concentrates, not only in ensuring that teachers cover the required content, but it also ensures that the task is completed with the utmost skill. In order to warrant this concept, the quality of education offered should be of high standards to help in student development. The system is also designed to provide assurance that the studies the students receive from the teacher’s guide them appropriately to meeting the career expectations in the job market. Therefore, teachers are required to be conversant with the ADEPT requirements. It is only through this that teachers may be able to enter the professional teaching practice (Grenaney et al., 17).
Boundaries are ethical and course and student related. The appropriateness of the teacher/learner relationship, the ability to assess and apply discipline and the ability to mark fairly and without favour are ethical boundaries that are crossed at the tutor’s peril. From a course perspective, only the designed course should be delivered and scope creep should be avoided at all times. There will be times when the needs of the student are outside the boundaries of the tutor and the course. It is essential that these needs are recognised and managed.
‘The hidden curriculum is a good way to learn norms and values’ Evaluate the arguments for and against this claim. The hidden curriculum is all the learning that goes on in a school that is not subject based. The hidden curriculum ensures that we learn the importance of, for example; following the rules, being in a routine, and being responsible. It becomes a part of our common sense experiences. Functionalists believe that education is crucial in order to have a smooth-running and efficient society.
