Before carrying out activities, you will need to have an awareness of the curriculum and stage at which pupils are at. As a member of support staff, as time goes on and the more experience gained, the more will be learnt about particular students and how they work best. It is ideal if support staff access school records about pupils learning to ensure they are up to date, familiar and prepared with supporting individual
Keeping records is a very important reflexive tool for both teachers and learners in the educational setting. Accurate records taken throughout a course enables both teacher and students to continually reassess the effectiveness of the teaching/learning relationship by giving an ongoing measure against which to view learning objectives. Records indicate whether pupils have learnt what has been taught and are making sufficient progress with the course; who needs more help or is ready for more extensive work by assessing better or worse progress than expected; and whether teachers need to refine any aspects of their teaching by assessing successes or shortcomings where teaching needs to be strengthened. Attendance data taken on a close protection course gives an idea of where students may fall behind with learning outcomes through non attendance. Identifying non attendance could indicate a problem external to the teaching setting which may benefit from referral to other professionals or could point to students’ dissatisfaction with the teaching style which could be addressed by reassessing the teaching methods used in order to promote more inclusive practice.
In this write-up, I will seek to explain the ways in which I could establish ground rules with learners, which strengthens behaviour and respect for others. In doing this, I will be explaining what ground rules are and why they are necessary. How best they can be established and also ensure that students take ownership of rules by putting responsibility on them. Ground rules can be defined as terms which govern the working relationship between the school/teacher and its learners. According to Jo Budden “good classroom management depends a lot on how you establish ground rules at the beginning of the course”.
Formative Assessment in tracking learner progress Formative assessment (assessment for learning) is engaged during a course or programme. This is the type of assessment used and it allows teachers to adjust targets and objectives to suit the student until they develop skills and become more confident. Formative assessment is usually informal (Formative informal) and can take place at any time during the teaching and learning process. Feedback from formative assessment will be beneficial to both student and teacher as it not only allows the student to recognize their success and look at areas for development but it allows the teacher to evaluate the effectiveness of their teaching and look to improve on future sessions. Formative assessment is often seen as being motivational as it can be seen as a review rather than an assessment.
Statistics tend to show a success gap between "hearing students" (students without hearing loss) and deaf students in public schools. Why do hearing students often achieve more in school than students with hearing loss? What can be done about this? There are many answers to these questions and many ways to improve this inequity. It is important to first look at the situation, identify the problem, and then discuss how to help students who are struggling with hearing loss.
They will meet on a regular basis to discuss issues and make decisions concerning the school or about the implementation of the school improvement plan. They will be imaginative in launching new and relevant initiatives in a way that can motivate the whole school, be diligent in keeping track of the progress these initiatives are making, summarise and review to see if any other improvements can be made. This will then be communicated to the other teachers and support staff when finalised and rolled out accordingly.

It means that students can take responsibility for some of their own progression. Students can ask themselves what am I learning and how can I do it better. Giving students constructive feedback will allow them to recognise how they can progress and achieve the next step in their learning. Having confidence that all students can improve. Both the teacher and student are involved in the reviewing process and can reflect on the assessment information.
Current Issues Summary and Response Matt 12/12/2010 Intro As a future special education teacher one of my jobs will be to keep up-to-date on current issues in the education field and let my parents know about any helpful development on these current issues. It is important for teachers to keep tabs on new developments that could be useful to better their understanding of education as a whole. There are a plethora of current issues involving special education. These issues range from more controversial to less controversial. Some of the more controversial issues are the use of tests to place students into special education, how should we grade students with special needs and how to discipline a student who is in special education.
Nowadays teachers should be conscious of how students learn so as to create and develop their teaching strategy and learning actions. Because the way which teachers use has a straight effect on individual's learning and understanding. Those data's objectives is to motivate students to begin thinking about learning and find out the way they prefer and they can understand. We can classify the approaches to learning in to two types: surface learning and deep learning. Each person's thinking effect on which way they choose.
Introduction The role of the teacher in producing student centered learning has been the subject of considerable discussion over time in this dynamic world. Polio and Humphrey (1996) noted that effective teaching revolved around the connection established between the instructor and the student. Lowman (1994) further noted that the behaviour of the teacher influences the quality of instruction and the learning environment that is created. Teaching must include two major components: sending and receiving information (Damodharan, 2012). Damodharan further asserted that any communication that serves this purpose without destroying the objective could be considered innovative.
