Preparing To Teach In The Lifelong Learning Sector

The 7303 Award comprises one unit, made-up of five sections, entitled ‘Preparing to teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector’ (PTLLS), which is based on the teaching/training cycle.

The five sections cover candidates’ understanding of:

own role, responsibilities and boundaries of role in relation to teaching

appropriate teaching and learning approaches in the specialist area

session planning skills and demonstration of those skills

how to deliver inclusive sessions which motivate learners

the use of different assessment methods and the need for record keeping

It has a value of six credits, consisting of 30 contact and 30 non-contact hours (formerly called guided learning hours), which is assessed by candidates completing two assignments, one theory and one practical, both of which are broken down into smaller, prescriptive assignment tasks.

NOTE: As most sections overlap/compliment each other these areas will NOT be covered one per session. By the end of the course we will have covered all the required skills and knowledge for the above.

Level 4 THEORY assessment 09

This assessment is to be used to assess candidates undertaking the theory section of Unit 1,

Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector at Level 4.

This assessment can be taken by pre-service or in-service candidates. Pre-service candidates may answer hypothetically, basing their responses around their chosen specialist subject.

Instructions for Candidates

Candidates are required to complete the following tasks listed below. The tasks may be completed in any order and marked formatively throughout the programme. However, each topic will be covered during the course and your tutor will suggest a recommended timetable for completion.

A Analyse different ways in which you would establish ground rules with your learners, which underpin behaviour and respect for others.

Recommended word count: 250-350 words.

B Discuss issues of equality and diversity, and ways you can promote inclusion with your learners. Include an evaluation of the ways in which you can embed Functional Skills in your subject area and the alternative points of referral available to meet the potential needs of learners.

Recommended word count: 500-600 words.

C On any learning programme a tutor is required to assess candidates learning and keep a range of records.

Review and evaluate a range of different assessment methods available for a tutor to use throughout the teaching/training cycle and explain the ones you would use in the context of your subject area.

Justify the types of records you would keep for assessment and in the wider context of your teaching.

Recommended word count: 500-600 words.

D Review what your role, responsibilities and boundaries as a teacher would be in terms of the teaching/training cycle. Include also a summary of the key aspects of current legislative requirements and codes of practice relevant to your subject and the type of organisation within which you would like to work

Recommended word count: 700-800 words.

All assessments must include evidence of research and appropriate academic references; ideally using the Harvard system of referencing

Word count excludes referencing.

Assignment grading

This assignment will be graded pass or refer. (ONE referral maximum is permitted per assignment).

Level 4 PRACTICAL assessment 09

This assessment is to be used to assess candidates undertaking the practical section of

Unit 1 Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector at Level 4.

Instructions for Candidates

Candidates are required to complete the following tasks listed below. The tasks may be completed in any order and marked formatively throughout the programme. However your tutor will suggest a recommended timetable for completion.

A Produce a learning programme/scheme of work in your subject area, for a minimum of six sessions (the length of each session is to be agreed between yourself & your tutor but must be a minimum of one hour). Produce a complete session plan for one of the six sessions.

B Deliver the micro-teach/teaching practice session(s), identifying, adapting and using

relevant approaches to engage and motivate learners in relation to your specialist area. You need to communicate appropriately and effectively with learners (total minimum 30 minutes of delivery).

As evidence provide:

A Session Plan for the microteach and sample of resources used

A detailed post session personal evaluation, based on your own reflections and feedback from your tutor and peers, of the teaching & learning approaches & effectiveness of the resources you used including an evaluation of how your session met the needs of individual learners

Evidence to demonstrate your understanding of good practice and ability in giving and receiving feedback with your peers and with the learners you teach/will teach

C Complete a reflective learning journal, linking theory to your practice, after each session attended throughout the PTLLS programme.

D At the end of the programme, complete a summative profile and action plan

Practical assessments do not require academic referencing although particularly in C and D you should provide clear evidence of how that theory of teaching has directed your thoughts on your role as a tutor.

Assignment grading

This assignment will be graded pass or refer. (ONE referral maximum is permitted per assignment).

Additional Activity – Observation of an Experienced Tutor

As part of the PTLLS course, and as part of your continuing professional development, it is recommended that you organise to observe an experienced tutor at least once.

This can be a:

an experienced tutor who teaches your particular specialist subject – to help you focus on how to teach the subject

or

an experienced tutor in any subject – which can help you focus on general teaching and delivery techniques

Following the observation you should hold a professional discussion with the tutor.

A proforma is provided to help you focus on, and record what happens in the session.

It is recommended that you also complete a Learning Journal, post observation which will help you reflect on the experience.

Micro-teaching/teaching practice

Candidates not currently in a teaching role (pre-service) are required to deliver a minimum of 30 minutes micro-teaching. The minimum duration of one session must be 15 minutes, allowing candidates the flexibility to deliver either two 15 minute sessions or one 30 minute session.

Candidates are permitted, in agreement with and at the discretion of the centre, to deliver more than the minimum 30 minutes if this is deemed appropriate to their requirements. This is deemed good practice in further developing the candidates’ confidence when delivering sessions.

The minimum 30 minutes delivery must be observed by the tutor/observer, who must give feedback and complete the Observation Report.

In addition, feedback must be given by the candidate’s peer group (There must be a minimum of three peer evaluations per candidate.)

The minimum number of candidates for a micro-teach 7303 cohort is four. This is to ensure that each candidate is given the opportunity to deliver teaching to a group and receive peer feedback.

Candidates currently in a teaching role (in-service) can deliver a minimum of one session, the

duration of which must be agreed by the centre, but must not be less than 30 minutes. This session should be observed by the course tutor/observer, who must give feedback and complete the Observation Report. Teaching practice must be in a Learning and Skills setting and centres must maintain a list of locations. Alternatively, they can deliver the micro-teach. This is at the discretion of the centre.

Centres may choose to make a visual recording of at least one of the cohort’s delivery of the microteach/ teaching practice session within the practical assignment, to enhance effective self evaluation, and have it available for internal and external verification. This will be discussed with candidates beforehand.

Learning Journal

Candidates should be encouraged to write a reflective learning journal from the commencement of the programme, to be completed as a minimum, after each session or section of the course attended (your tutor will advise you on this).

Candidates may also choose to complete this form after each assignment.

The Journal should not merely be a diary entry recording what took place. It must be REFLECTIVE and include thoughts, feelings, evaluation etc of what happened, what you have learned and how you can relate this to yourself personally and your work as a tutor.

Being a ‘Reflective Practitioner’….

All tutors need to reflect on each session they teach in order to plan future teaching sessions. Creating a Learning Journal should help you develop the necessary skills to do this

Assignment Writing

At Level 4 all assignments must:

Be word processed

Show evidence of research – using correct Harvard referencing

Suggested format:

Use a clear typeface such as Arial and a clear font size such as 12 or 14

Use double line spacing

Start each assignment with your name and candidate number (when known) on the top line or as a Header

Put the course title & level e.g. C&G Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector Level 4

Put the Assignment type and number e.g. Theory Assignment 1

Type out the full assignment brief e.g. Review what your role, responsibilities and boundaries…………. etc

Type your response/answer to the assignment

Put the word count at the bottom of the assignment or in the footer

More hints and tips on about assignment writing can be found in the Study Skills pack.
