Describe what your role responsibilities and boundaries would be as a teacher in terms of the teaching training cycle. (300 – 350 words) 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 a way that all students are encouraged to enter into a 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 a 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 ensures students 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. I teach holistic health and wellbeing classes where motivations and previous experience constantly change as better health is experienced. . It is the teachers’ responsibility to monitor, evaluate and improve the quality and effectiveness of their delivery by taking into account learners changing needs. Course structure and its coherent delivery are responsibilities which require adaptation and flexibility to reflect newly identified needs as seen in the teaching/training cycle. In holistic health classes, learners are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning. My responsibility is to encourage progressive reflection in students to allow their personal growth and development to be useful to their lives. Progressive reflection sheets form the core assessment of the course culminating in an end of course interview. This interview allows the student to demonstrate their development of understanding in a meaningful way.
