P1 Unit 1 Education

The main role of a teacher/trainer should be to teach in a way which engages learners and actively engage learning during every lesson irrespective of the environment. In my position as IT manager at Barnsley College there are roles and responsibilities that are set to facilitate personal and organisational goals the same can be said for teaching and learning. As a teacher/trainer I will need to be able to adapt my style of teaching by being a friend, counsellor, mentor to ensure that my learners are

1. In your own words summarise the major learning points from the whole of the study programme with particular reference to:

By allowing them to be a part of their care planning they can see the support required and the impact of their own decisions on their goals.

The learning outcomes below are to be covered to enable you to achieve the unit.

Unit 12 deals with teaching productive skills. Productive skills are speaking and writing. They are both used to communicate. Speaking requires fluency and writing requires accuracy. Accuracy activities are usually part of the study phase, they are concerned with producing correct language, they are controlled by the teacher. Fluency activities are part of an activate phase and they are concentrated on flow of communication, and speaking without stopping. They are less controlled. Speaking activities can be controlled or guided and creative communication. Controlled activities are accuracy based (e.g. drilling), guided are also accuracy based, but more creative (e.g. model dialogues), while creative communication is fluency based, the teacher

When this class started at the beginning of this semester I was not sure I would learn a lot. The main objectives of this class were fairly simple. There were five main objectives to use and know. They are the following:

Inclusive learning is about ensuring all your learners have the opportunity to be involved and included in the learning process. It’s also about treating all learners equally and fairly, without directly or indirectly excluding anyone. Inclusion is about attitudes as well as behaviour, as learners can be affected by the words or actions of others. You are not teaching you’re subject to a group of learners who are all the same, but to a group of individuals with different experiences, abilities and needs which should be recognised and respected. Agreeing individual learning plans (ILPs) and/or action plans can help formalise

When I first saw it, I thought the title looked interesting so I decided to skim through it. It quickly caught my attention because I myself had recognized the fact that different subjects have different ways the material should be read, but I was unaware that it was an actual issue within education.

It is important to read through all components of an assignment in the GCU classroom so that you are aware of its requirements and the expectations of your instructor. Look for the following cues:

The purpose of this assignment is to give you an opportunity to apply some of the critical reading strategies you have evaluated.

The statement about students reading on the superficial, surface level, and how they rarely reach that richer deeper meaning was very profound to me. The example of all the events that happen in the baseball game before each pitch was a great eye-opener to validate this point. Educators expect

What competencies were you able to develop in researching and writing the Comprehensive Project that is due in Unit 5?

In summary, this course has really educated my view of being a teacher as well as being able to interact with today’s diverse and fluctuating educational setting. Therefore, the discussions were very good ways in understanding how

In this report I will be talking about how my chosen organisation, which is Primark, uses ethical issues to consider in its every day operational activities. Primark may not have some ethical issues that I will be discussing about in this report, but I will talk in detail about how they could use them, issues in their business. I will be explaining how Primark’s way of selling affects ethical issues and will be discussing about the things they need to be aware of whilst selling their clothes.

After the assigned readings I was able to gain more knowledge on different viewpoints to teaching, and to learning. The blogs by Diane Ravitch were very interesting. The blogs were concerning Common Core, Unions, and the best way to learn how to read. I found it interesting that the knowledge sustained in these blogs would be so helpful in guiding my purpose of teaching. The blogs influenced my thinking about the purpose of social studies in that social studies gives us so much background to where we’ve come from, what we as a society have accomplished, and most importantly who we are us citizens. The blogs reinforced the opinion of many people across the U.S. and that is that Common Core is flawed. The parents would not opt out of a program just because they felt it was too hard for their students. The outrage and boycott comes from the effect the grading of the tests has on a teachers overall performance as a teacher. Using common core testing as a rubric for teachers in my opinion is blatantly wrong and the statistics from the American Statistical Association show that “teachers affect 1-14% of the variation in student scores, while the family and home have a greater % effect” (NY Daily News, Ravitch.net). This blog affected my impact on just how much flak teachers get when it comes to the state and federal education system. The impact the blogs had on me was it opened my eyes to the Common Core situation and offered an insight to the troubling issues that concern
