Also submit a brief justification of the approaches you intend to use, in relation to the learning needs of your peer-group. This justification could refer back to work previously submitted for PTLLS Assignments 4,5 and 6. 7) Delivering your micro-teach PTLLS: Using inclusive learning and teaching approaches in lifelong learning 2.1 Demonstrate inclusive learning and teaching approaches to engage and motivate learners 2.2 Demonstrate the use of appropriate resources to support inclusive learning and teaching 2.3 Use assessment methods to support learning and teaching 2.4 Communicate with learners to meet their needs and aid their understanding 2.5 Provide constructive feedback to learners PTLLS: Understanding inclusive learning and teaching in lifelong learning 2.4 Review how to provide opportunities for learners to practice their literacy, language, numeracy and ICT skills With the exception of UILTLL 2.4, the above criteria all imply skills that you will need to demonstrate during your (brief) micro-teach. You will be required to reflect critically on (self-assess) your own performance using the Micro-teach Observation form in Annex A and your tutor/assessor will also use this same document for summative assessment and feedback. You will notice that this observation form is cross-referenced to the criteria listed above and
Unit 141 Professional practice in children’s care, learning and development. Outcome 4. Be able to engage others in reflective practice. 4.1 Analyse the use of models of reflective practice in own setting. Reflective practice is important to the development of lecturers as professionals as it enables us to learn from our experiences of teaching and make easier student learning.
1. Explain the purpose of the following types of assessment in learning and development • Initial Assessment • Formative Assessment • Summative Assessment Formative Assessment Initial assessment provides the information needed to plan an individual’s learning and improve their chances of learning effectively. Without it, there are only assumptions. It’s always possible to make some predictions about learners from an application form or selection test, but it’s an insecure basis for planning. Learners themselves bring assumptions about learning based on the past, and some of these may get in the way of looking ahead to a new way of learning.
Inclusive learning should promote positive behaviour and conduct. A teacher needs to recognise that learner comes with different learning styles and needs. Maslow stated unless certain need are met the learner cannot progress. Malsow ‘s hierarchy of needs theory is: Learners needs have to to be met in order for leaners to be involved and focused on their learning. For individual learning styles to be met, within a good learning sessions a teacher will ensure he/she takes a multi-sensory approach to teaching, this way each learner can work to the best of their ability.
Actively encourage and support learners in becoming independent. Will lead learning “guided” groups, modelling concepts and language that the adult leading the learning has used. Will alter an activity or change the apparatus if an activity does not meet the learners needs to enable them to achieve or exceed the expected outcome. Are acutely aware of learners capabilities/prior learning/understanding and plan very effectively to build on these. The areas that I have assessed as “good” and therefore need improving are: Enable learners to access resources appropriately – I feel that I need to make more time to be able to show the children how they can get the best from the resources that they have available to them.
Effective communication is very important for variety of reasons: Making relationships – Effective communication helps to create new relationships not only with a child, but with parents, careers and colleagues too. To make new relationships effectively you need to use verbal and non – verbal communication, and you need to be friendly, also smiling a lot. Developing relationships - it is important not only to make new relationships, it is also very important to develop and maintain it. To do that professionals need to maintain friendly and supportive approach, and be interested in what other people are doing or feeling. Expressing thoughts and ideas – in order to encourage children and young adults to talk about what they learned and what they think, or encourage them to express themselves imaginatively, communication skills are also needed.
The government also introduced Skills for Life in 2001 which is a strategy to improve adult literacy and numeracy skills. Other services available include; “Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) services have a pivotal role to play in delivering the Skills Strategy. They promote the benefits of learning, help individuals to address and overcome the barriers to learning, and support them in making realistic and well informed choices.” (The National Policy Framework and Action Plan, 2012) You also have student services, advice and guidance, teaching assistants, financial aid, etc. All of these will help to give everybody an equal opportunity to access the same level of learning experience. It’s also equally important to know your own limitations and know when and where to access support both for yourself and your
Distinction To achieve a distinction the evidence must show that, in addition to the pass and merit criteria, the learner is able to: The learner will: 1 Understand the learning process The learner can: P1 Explain key influences on personal learning processes of individuals M1 explain the importance of improving skills for learning to support learning processes 2 Be able to plan for and P2 Assess own knowledge, monitor own professional skills, practice, values, development beliefs and career aspirations at start of programme P3 Produce an action plan for self-development and the achievement of own personal goals 3 Be able to reflect on own development over time D1 evaluate changes P4 Produce evidence of own M2 analyse the importance made to action of meeting action plan progress against action plan in response to targets in supporting own plan over the duration of ongoing reflection of progression the programme development, targets and goals P5 Reflect on own personal and professional development M3 explain how knowledge D2 analyse own gained within the development and learning environment progression over time has influenced own professional development 4 Know service provision in the health or social care
Test-taking, career-oriented, learning behavior, decision-making, and critical thinking are all areas in which I have strengths. I was able to apply this to my theory through the way in which class is conducted, and the students are assessed. DI and inclusion push for children to embrace their learning behavior and styles while helping them develop deeper thinking processes. Creating success and higher levels of thinking allow children to become goal orientated which will help them when it is time to choose career paths of their own. In my theory, an effective teacher must also be willing to change and adapt lesson plans based on the needs of the students.
Lifetime Training: Induction Workbook 2013 Induction Workbook Page 2 Personal Development Plan Where am I now and how can Lifetime help me get to where I want to be? Working on your Personal Development Plan will encourage you to focus on your skills as a learner and to take responsibility for your own skill development. It is primarily about assessing your own skills, setting goals for improvement, recording your achievements and reflecting on your experiences. The information you collect here should help you identify your strengths, and areas for development, and help you work through these during the time on your programme. It has been recognised that learners need structured opportunities to think about, and plan towards,
