support teaching and learning Unit 312 Support numeracy development Outcome 1: Understand current national and organisational frameworks for mathematics 1.1: Explain the aims and importance of learning provision for numeracy development The aims and importance of learning provision for numeracy development is to ensure that all pupils understand that maths is an important part of everyday life, and will continue to be used throughout their life. Maths is taught to children in many different ways, sometimes there can be too much emphasis on the recording of ‘sums’, if this is introduced to children too early it can slow down the pupil’s progress in thinking mathematically. Maths is now taught very differently to when I was in school, because there is more emphasis now in how you arrive at the answer and finding different methods of arriving at the correct answer particularly in the early primary phase. Showing the children different methods of arriving at the answer improves their investigation skills. The mathematics curriculum is intended to give the children a better understanding of numeracy.
A. Strategy # 3 : Visualize success My specific actions: When I visualize success, I will be able to encourage myself. Then my brain won’t be full of thoughts I can collect my thoughts and solve the problem, or answer the question. B. Strategy # 6 : Write memory cues on the test My specific actions: In my math class I will write equations and words that will cue information that is triggered by the cue.
Internal Quality Assurance upholds the credibility of any assessment or qualification the organisation delivers. IQA ensures quality throughout the learner journey, ensures accuracy and consistency of decisions, manages risk, identifies issues/ trends, supports and develops assessors. The process ensures that the provision at the centre and subject level conforms to approved procedures and that consistency is being achieved within the institution. “Quality is the ‘degree of excellence of something’ Quality assurance is ‘a system of maintaining and improving standards” (p6 Level 3 & 4 Awards & Certificates in Assessment and Quality Assurance Qualification handbook for centres). An important principle of a quality concept is
I then of course have always had certain morals and ideas I believed were crucial to bring into the classroom, but now that I have become more educated on the subject of math which I can say that my outlook of teaching has opened up to a variety of different methods, “out of the box,” kind of thinking. I am a firm believer that all needs the tools and concepts to be the educator that all kids need to have so that they can carry on with these concepts throughout their lives as needed. The mentioned concept of the educator’s course has taught me not only the math concepts itself, but also different ways for me to teach a class and bring such concepts to life for my classes that I will hopefully teach. My goal is not to become a perfect educator teacher, but to do the best teaching I can do. By taking this course and knowing the following the Principles and Standards I will now be able to take what I’ve learned from this class and put it to use.
When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format. There are several scientific practices that need to be observed when working in a laboratory setting. First a student must be able to construct explanations, and secondly they must be able to utilize critical thinking skills through the use of mathematics, information and computer technology and computational thinking. As an effective teacher one must be able to communicate the value of these skills to their students and show the value of being thorough with both of these steps. When teaching a student about constructing explanations it is important to understand what the purpose of the explanation is trying to say; being thorough is going to be the best option as the more details that are available the more likely the person reviewing the experiment will understand what was trying to be done.
Abstract: The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) has provided great benefits from its delivered instruction for students of all ages and grade levels. The SIOP model, in compliance with content standards, has established itself to being an effective strategy, addressing all students’ needs by focusing on correlated components. Using strategies that relate to these components, educators may plan design and allocate lessons that focus on the academic and linguistic needs of all students (The Arizona Department of Education). Included in this paper is an unambiguously defined SIOP model lesson plan and rationale created for the purposes of this essay. Identified within the SIOP lesson plan is the content and language standards and objectives to be attained by students.
The aims and importance of learning provision for numeracy development. The curriculum provides pupils a solid foundation in all aspects of numeracy and a Key feature of developing skills in numeracy is for pupils to understand its purpose and be able to not only learn but also apply it to real life situation which is why it is important to establish mathematical skills at a early stage. In reception classes Teachers follow through a Foundation Stage Curriculum which includes problem solving, reasoning and Numeracy for pupils 40-60+ months old. In Key stage 1, numeracy skills are developed practically in shape, pattern, counting, sorting and measuring. Teachers plan activities in order to help the pupils develop mathematical skills through exploring, playing games.
Those principles are: stronger accountability for results, increased flexibility and local control, expanded options for parents, and emphasis on teaching qualifications and methods. In order to make sure that each student is provided the best education achievable, the NCLB focuses on what a student should be learning (academic content standards), how well they should be learning (academic achievement standards), and whether a school is teaching all students successfully (state assessments). Each state defines what all children should not only know, but also be able to do in order to be considered “proficient.” States define proficiency based on academic content standards and academic achievement standards in reading, language arts, mathematics, and science (NCLD Public Policy Staff, 2009). Schools must show that they have effectively taught their students with the use of state assessment tests. The No Child Left Behind Act mandates that students with disabilities be included in these state assessment tests.
Lynn Cox Assignment 7 State the different assessment methods available and explain the ones you would use for your subject area, including reference to initial assessment. State the types of assessment records you would complete and why. A variety of assessment methods are used within the NVQ Childcare courses I teach and assess. As an assessor, observation is the best method of assessment and within the Level 2 course lot’s of evidence for performance is collected this way. Directly witnessing a learner’s competence gives good proof of interaction and communication skills, ability to work with children and adults, familiarity of setting etc.
In addition to the experience a perspective HLTA will have to meet a number of training requirements. * Level 2 (GCSE A*-C) in Maths and English, as this will assist in HLTAs range of knowledge and help when needed to read up on variety of subjects to liase with the teacher to assist in delivering and planning effective lessons as required by the National Curriculum. * HLTA standards and qualifications as outlined by the Training and Development Agency for schools. This is outlined under three headings, 1. Professional attributes.
