This enables the learners to recognise what is acceptable and gives them a sense of ownership as well as encouraging group dynamics. To extend this the students could either create a poster or write down behaviour which they believe to be appropriate for the classroom and practical sessions and then to share with the group. To further reinforce the establishing of ground rules another method would be to display the agreed rules (as currently displayed on the workshop notice board) and to present the learners and members of staff with individual copies of the ground rules to place in their work portfolios, which can be
Describe the roles, responsibilities and boundaries as a teacher in the teaching/training cycle Role, responsibilities and boundaries are evolving qualities within the teacher which are assessed and reflected upon using the teaching/training cycle; a cycle of assessment, planning and review. The main role of the teacher is to facilitate communication in such way that all students are encouraged to enter into wider debate surrounding the topic they have chosen. To ensure sessions’ aims and objectives are meaningful and applicable to students, the teaching role incorporates ongoing administration and assessment. Assessing varying learning styles within group and considering learner’s motivations and previous experiences helps identify various teaching methods that could be useful throughout the program. Sessions incorporating visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learning styles ensure student’s have equal rights to learning and provide the opportunity to re-evaluate what is already known while exploring aims and objectives from a different perspective.
In conclusion, a multicultural classroom requires various teaching methods for students’ success. In order to successfully teach a class like such, teaching materials must be modified to involve and recognize each student’s culture. When a teacher shows interest in student’s heritage and culture, they are able to gain their students trust. This encourages and motivates students to learn in a diverse
Summative assessments are also necessary to give feedback to the student if the feedback offered is adequate this can be also classed as formative assessment. Oral and written assessments will assess whether the learner can apply the knowledge taught within the lesson. The methods of assessment are observation, testing and questioning all assessment methods should maintain within the SMART targets. This means that they should be specific, measurable, achievable, and measurable and time bound. The summative assessment methods are generally used for credited learners which are defined by awarding bodies such as WJEC for example.
Describe what your role, responsibilities and boundaries would be as a teacher in terms of the teaching/training cycle. The teacher’s role, responsibilities and boundaries are permanently changing, evolving and being assessed in order to give the best possible learning experience to all students. Using the teaching/training cycle can benefit your personal development if you refer to and use its principles. The first stage of the cycle is Identify needs, this begins with the initial assessment where we can determine the learners needs and the correct course for them to achieve. We use a quickscan, and VAK test which helps to determine the learner style, (Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic).
The steps for effectively planning learning activities is based on the 'pupils individual needs, abilities and interests'. Information gathered from one to ones, observation reports and assessments of the student will inform the learning materials used as well as the curriculum requirements outlined by the education standards organisation. The use of a continuous planning cycle will ensure that the pupils needs and the requirements of the school are met. I would use the following processes to plan learning activities. This includes; * Identifying individual learning needs via one to ones or through observations.
Students will be required to study the text and to develop the ability to prepare and construct a response to the text, using appropriate language in their discussion. Students should be able to identify and discuss key aspects of the set text, including how the writer constructs meaning and the ways in which social and cultural values are conveyed. Area of Study 2 Creating and presenting Students will be expected to read a range of texts relevant to the theme ‘Conflict’, including the play ‘The Crucible’, songs of Paul Kelly and the film, ’Kite Runner’. Drawing on the knowledge gained from these texts, they will create written texts. Area of Study 3 Using language to persuade The focus of this area is on the use of language in the presentation of a point of view.
Unit one in this class first involved the class picking values we thought were important to make a caring learning environment. As we shared our reasons for picking the values on a discussion board, the class was involved in cooperative learning. In other words, we helped others evaluate their own values by providing input and suggestions. In this way, I believe this section in particular of Unit one and the discussion boards in general addressed our continuing professional development: TPE 13. Another aspect of Unit one was identifying and categorizing our intelligences.
It can outline the basis for the partial development of the right learning needs and abilities and may also be constructive preliminary stage for future learning prospects There are many rationales why it’s significant to observe and assess pupils’ development. For example, to be able to recognize the broad choice of skills in all areas of pupils development. This will help teachers and teaching assistants to set out goals that need improving and building upon current skills to allow pupils to achieve their educational attainment at different levels. Moreover it is important to observe and assess in order to identify and comprehend the cycle of development in children. This understanding should be used to connect the hypothesis and theory with my own practice as a teaching assistant within the school.
My Philosophy of Student Discipline My philosophy of student discipline begins with the ideology that students learn what they live. Through the introduction and continuous exposure to a positive school environment, students will develop the social, emotional, and physical skills needed to become promising contributors to society. Within these skills, the term respect resonates as an underlying aspect of a positive atmosphere. Respect is related to student discipline by integration in quantitative and qualitative manners. The following paragraphs will give insight into respect within both fashions and show how they are complementary.
