Assignment Sheet 1.1 Describe what your role, responsibilities and boundaries would be as a teacher in terms of the teaching/training cycle. 300-500 words Make sure you address the question and the assessment criteria (p 8) Name: Date: Word count: 566 As a teacher, in terms of teaching/training cycle, my role would be one of a “Project Manager”, managing a project with a new team having different professional roles. The teacher’s main role does not imply strict and rigid qualities as they need to be tailored to facilitate communication between learners around their chosen subject of study. After the initial assessment (this was intended to establish whether a learner’s progress and achievement can be measured prior attending the course) my responsibility is to register all attendees for the course as an admin requirement. During registration, I will ensure that every one will be aware of school’s emergency measures and procedure that are in place (evacuation plan, fire exit doors and assembly points); also what facilities are available on site i.e. kitchen, toilets, disable lifts etc. Once H&S induction finished, my role is to facilitate a positive class environment where all present will have the chance to know each other (icebreaker) and will be relaxed in exchanging ideas and opinions on a given topic. This not only prepares the next step of first session but will give me a unique opportunity to analyse how learners interact before dividing the group in teams of two or three - working in small groups encourages communication, motivation, confidence and interpersonal skills. In my role as teacher, related to the teaching cycle, I’ll be responsible for planning & preparing ground rules1, presenting2 specifically planed sessions of the course, assessment, evaluation and reviewing learners’ progress. Dividing the course in sessions is intended for effective teaching/learning the course material also for assessing learners’ progress and understanding their individual level of development. As a teacher, it will be my responsibility to monitor and identify whether individual learners need additional help. My planned teaching sessions will include a schedule for marking and returning assignments back to learners within pre-agreed deadline schedule, schedule which is designed to help learners with their homework to reach the appropriate awarding body required standards. Boundaries – going back at the beginning of this assignment, a building project has set of various boundaries. Within these boundaries everybody has a part to play which is governed by their position. Boundaries may be of professional nature, in which case they identify professional limitations, and referral may be needed for professional improvement – or ethical. Ethical boundaries on the other hand are governing our moral conduct3 at a place of work or in public or family. It will be no error to say that each of us has their own ethical boundaries. Accepting this, employers and organisations have set up their own boundaries, often called rules, codes or approved code of practice/conduct to which all employees or premises users have to comply with. Complying with the codes or rules as a matter of ethic boundaries will be always a matter of choice but consequences of breaking the ethical boundaries may be judged as unethical and discrediting the individual. ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- 1Prompt start; break times; mobile phones off; no use of profane language; mutual respect; listening to others’ views; supportive & encouraging each other; use of facilities 2 With the aid of visual, auditory and kinaesthetic means 3 Race, religion, gender and sex orientation, disability, political orientation.
