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 requires us to act according to the law set by an Act of Parliament. This is a legal requirement and any breaches of any such act can result in court action. A Code of Practice or sometimes known as Code of Conduct, is one which has been set by an employer, to ensure the correct behaviour of employees and that company procedures are followed.
Outline Intrinsic and Extrinsic Aids Intrinsic and Extrinsic Aids are used to help judges interpret pieces of legislation and apply it to cases. They can also help define words within legislation so parliament’s intentions can be met. Intrinsic Aids, also known as internal aids are anything within the Act itself that can help judges with the interpretation of a particular section. The Long title is one of the most useful Intrinsic, it describes in general terms the purpose of the Act which makes complex words easier to understand so the true purpose of the Act can is met. The Explanatory memorandum is also very useful in finding parliaments true intention, an Explanatory memorandum accompanies all statutes since 1998 and sets out the purpose of the Act.

I need to provide and maintain a safe and supportive environment as discussed by Abraham Maslow (1908-1970 where he mentions the idea of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. He argues that it is: ‘The role of the teacher is to create an environment where learners feel part of a group and all contributions have worth.’ There are boundaries within my role as a tutor where I need to understand the organisational structure of the company I work for, The needs of the candidates and the relevant professional bodies I may need to refer to. Other codes of practise will include timekeeping, dress code and disciplinary procedures within my organisation.
One way to perform a beneficial role in the society is to learn the skills and knowledge from school that is necessary to work in a modern, technical, industrial society e.g. literacy, maths, science and computer technology. 3) Choose one role of education and describe how functionalists would explain this role of education?

Students need to see that there is equity in the classroom, including clear, consistent guidelines concerning procedures, expectations and discipline. This includes dress, behaviour and punctuality. Accessibility to students is promoted, although a professional ‘distance’ from my students is maintained to enforce equity and discipline. I am not their ‘mate’; I am their teacher and they must know there is a professional line. Is it not ironic then, that the very nature of teaching often makes us surrogate fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters?
