I would be aware of the desired learning outcome and would be asking questions such as “what have you learnt today?” or “can you tell me one thing you now know after the lesson that you didn’t know before?” After the lesson I would discuss with the teacher what progress has been made and the level of the students engaging and what if anything the students have found particularly easy or difficult. On a termly basis I would feed back any issues that I have found with the students I have worked with, this is done in a meeting form so alternative provisions can be made if

It is also important to be considerate towards others and understand that everyone of us have different things going on and if someone is having an off day then remember they are just human. When speaking to a child you may need to change the type of language you use, more simple words and shorter sentences.
PTLLS theory Question 8 - Functional skills Functional Skills are necessary to support all areas of our life and they are essential for developing and delivering learning in First Aid training. The methodology for incorporating Functional skills into First Aid training can be broken down into separate parts and considered against the course content to identify potential areas for inclusion. Gravells (2012) identify examples of integrating functional skills into the delivery as including the following subjects: - • English or literacy and language • Maths or numeracy • Information and Communications Technology (ICT) English or literacy and language cover the areas of written communication, oral exchange and comprehension of the English language. Literacy skills are initially introduced through completion of the course enrolment or booking forms. Students are provided with course handouts and publications which require reading skills.
