Introduction:
The purpose of the unit is to provide the learner with knowledge, understanding and skills relating to teaching, learning and assessment in education and training. It includes understanding the role and responsibilities of a teacher in education and training, agreeing individual learning goals and planning, delivering and assessing inclusive teaching and learning. It involves creating and maintaining an inclusive learning environment and evaluating own practice.
A key feature of this unit is the application of minimum core within the skill specific area. Evidence for this unit must be drawn from a real teaching environment, and when delivering teaching and learning, learners must ensure that they comply with internal processes and external requirements. Two lesson observations (duration of min 30 minutes each) and 100 hours of practice are to be performed while doing this unit. It is not possible to achieve this unit without completing some hours of practice. Learners who have previously completed a Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training or a Level 4 CTLLS
Qualification can use 20 hours of practice and two hours of observed and assessed practice towards meeting the overall practice requirements for this unit.
Learners should be encouraged to consider their own thoughts about their delivery, any feedback they receive and information from any research or written assignments in order to reflect on their own delivery and how they can improve their practice. This unit will provide evidence in some form of written assignment to evidence the knowledge assessment criteria and will also provide some product evidence which will be lodged in the portfolio of teaching evidence.
This assignment is divided into three parts:
1. Report
2. Portfolio
3. Teaching practice
You must answer all questions in the report section, complete required hours of teaching practice and submit all documents for the portfolio section.
Make sure you start building your portfolio as part of your unit as your assignment will be marked against your portfolio.
Please note: To be eligible for the award of credit for this unit, a trainee teacher must be able to provide evidence of a minimum of two assessed observations of practice that meet the required standard of practice.
Finally, this unit will provide evidence in some form of written assignment to evidence the assessment criteria and may also contribute to some product evidence which will be lodged in the e-portfolio of teaching evidence.
