{draw:frame} The teacher / trainer cycle (TTC) is a simple iterative process by which a learning experience that, once a need has been established, may be designed, delivered, assessed and evaluated. My main role as a teacher of ICT, will be to provide a learning experience that fits the course profile that has been designed. Within this I have to take into account the various learning styles, visual, auditory and kinaesthetic that my students may prefer. Health and safety will also be a primary feature as will record keeping. Student records, attendance, achievement and disciplinary details will be some of the information kept.
A written piece discussing models of supervision and its importance to the counselling process On entering into education about or practicing as a counsellor, an individual is committing to an ongoing process of supervision. The goal of this counselling supervision is to create a trusting environment in which developing students are able to enhance their skills and competence (Carifio & Hess, 1987; Hess, 1987; Ronnestad & Skovholt, 1993). It is a process of professional and personal development which encourages a counsellor to reach higher levels of competence. This in essence provides an environment for counsellors to discuss their work regularly with an experienced counsellor and supervisor. It is through these supervision meetings that the supervisee is able to reflect on their own practice, drawing from active counselling sessions, the practitioners own thoughts, feelings and reactions and is able to examine these and develop/adapt strategies for client work.

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.
332 2.1 The Importance of Reflective Practice Reflective Practice is the opportunity to review what has been done, what worked well and what didn't work so well. From this you can identify areas that need to change or develop so as we can constantly strive to improve our teaching practice. Reflective practice can also be applied on a personal level so as we are better able to identify what we are doing well, how we need to improve or develop and how our knowledge and current practice may benefit the team within which we are working. Reflective practice can be carried out by keeping a reflective journal to record our experiences. Over time the information will give us a good picture of how our practice has developed, what we use over and over again that seems to guarantee results and where we are struggling.
the cycle of learning to enable me to develop my own understanding and as a reflective practitioner I can link this with Schon’s (1983) concepts of reflecting in action and reflecting on action to help improve my actions and professional practice and show that I evaluate my experiences and integrate it to theory and knowledge in supervision (Aids to Practice cards, Values and Ethics, p112). The relevant skill to use with the case study service user is communication. I will start explaining its relevance by looking at why it is an important skill for all social workers to use in their practice. In Block 1 of K113 we heard a number of service users and practitioners talk about examples of good and bad social work.
