1.1 Summarise learning and teaching strategies used in own specialism
All the teaching I have carried out recently is in relation to people with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour. Some is classroom based, such as Risk and Conflict Management, Autism and behaviour interventions relating to an individual service user. I also used to teach PRICE (Protecting Rights In a Caring Environment). This is a physical intervention course which is practical and physical with no desks; therefore the teaching and learning strategies are different for this course. It tends to use a style more like EDIP (Explain, Demonstrate, Imitate and Practice). Allen’s (1919) four-step method, as cited in Gravells (2012, p.95) describes that it starts

I will need to include learners in agreeing their individual learning plan so ensure it meets their needs.
Ensuring the learners help write the ground rules will ensure everyone feels included. Also using an ice breaker assists learners to feel part of a group.
I will need to consider the resources I use to ensure they meet the needs of the learners. It will be important to use a wide variety of resources when I am teaching, the main reasons for this is to accommodate different learning styles but also to help learner stimulation and interaction.
Part of inclusive learning is for me to be approachable and accessible, so the students feel comfortable to talk to me.
2.2 Explain how to select resources that meet the needs of learners
Resources need to be appropriate for the learning outcomes and suitable for the learner’s needs or to be able to adapt it. A tutor also needs to consider if a resource is at the correct level of ability. Resources also need to be current and credible and of high quality.
Tutors also need to consider their own ability to use the equipment and there may be budgetary constraints to consider. All resources need to meet the session objectives.
If we consider the resource of YouTube videos within PowerPoint, some advantages to its use are:-
• It has a visual impact
• There is a wide range and choice
• It can be up to date
• It is easily remembered by many learners
• It is accessible
However,
1.1. Inclusive learning is about recognising that all your students have the right to be treated equally and fairly, have the same access to all products, services and have the opportunity to be involved and included. As a teacher you need to be aware that all students are not the same as they all do not learn in the same way, the ways in which a teacher can overcome this is using the Teaching and Learning Cycle, using visual, auditory and kinaesthetic materials (VAK) and agreeing on individual learning plans (ILPs). Other features could include self reflective exercises, quizzes and providing opportunities for students to reflect on their own
Having access to relevant resources allows me, as an educator, to frame and scaffold meaningful questions to guide my research within the classroom. As a teacher and student, I am always learning, inquiring, analyzing information and ideas, adapting to behaviors according to information received, looking to improve and adapting to the many demands placed upon me every day (Fields, 2011). As a result, I need to research which means I need to constantly have and demonstrate the ability to frame the meaningful, insightful questions that will inform my learning and teaching practices. If education was not based on inquiry and research the education system would only be based on theory, ideology and prejudice.
When setting up an inclusive learning environment we need to focus on individual differences. Francis and Gould (2013: p65) explain, that “it is important to recognise the differences in the learners we teach, as these influence how we interact with them.” Francis and Gould (2013) list few typical differences, like age, physical disability, mental health issues, ethnicity, etc.
This means that they need to have to know effective ways to teach it and how to use the various types, which will be talked about in this paper.
EEI (Essential Elements of Instruction, ND): Yes, the resources and material provided will enable the students to learn the objectives of the lesson. The teacher clearly states how the lesson will be presented and how she will guide the students throughout the lesson.
The approaches to learning I have developed during the project including information literacy, organization, and transfer. The learner profiles I have developed during the include knowledgeable, thinker, and inquirer.
Determination of teaching methods selected for the learning activity ensuring they are reflective of the needs assessment, gap in knowledge, desired outcomes, and objectives. Ensuring that learners are actively engaged in the learning process.

As a resource provider, the teacher provides information to others and helps coworkers to implement the new resources. The resource provider will be the leader in bringing forth new ideas and also helping others share techniques
These resources should be considerably important to the entire student body due to the real-time feedback, which means no excruciating downtime to get the feedback you need promptly. There are countless diverse ways to attain, a few comprehend by reading and writing, other by visual and graphic, alternatively auditory/verbal and there is a part that even assimilate by tactile/ kinesthetic, regardless of how you incorporate these resources have adaptive and adequate ways of ameliorating every student. One of the abundantly
Resources present students with outside material to help them learn. Not only are some of the resources assigned for classroom preparation, but others are meant be a useful guide as students look for online assistance. The most important aspect of this section is selecting updated resources that students will actively use for homework. Secondly, finding helpful outside resources to save students’ time.
For every dimension, a learner may have preference to either of the learning style. Felder has suggested teaching style or learning contents for each learning style as shown in table 3.1.
What teaching strategies does the teacher use and how do those strategies change as they progress through the lesson?
Teaching and learning strategies used in an actual session and to be delivered during professional practice.
This is to teach a student to learn thus equipping a student to properly contribute to their own knowledge base.
