ASSIGNMENT 1
Section 1
As a youth worker in a learning environment, I view my role as that of learning facilitator. I always follow the same format to establish boundaries for myself and the group. I encourage the learners to use a peer approach to learning.
In my practice I deliver workshops to young people around participation, inclusion, self esteem, anger and conflict management, quality assurance and recruitment and selection. The young people who attend my learning workshops are there in a voluntary capacity and therefore have an interest in learning, although they have a variety of different needs and abilities.
It is important to set the appropriate boundaries for learners. The main boundaries to be set are:
➢ Behaviour
This applies to both teacher and learners and relates to behaviour that would put either party at risk of harm. This area also promotes the integrity of the teacher. The learner is more likely to listen to a person they respect and know where they stand with them
➢ Respect
No person should discriminate or belittle others in any way. All parties will recognise diversity and celebrate it.
➢ Personal
Learners and the teacher should only speak about themselves if it is appropriate and they feel comfortable in doing so.
➢ Example
The teacher should set an example to learners. An appropriate dress code should adhere to. Occasionally inappropriate dress could be distracting and act as a barrier to learning.
A primary responsibility of any teacher is to assess current skills and measure the learning that has taken place during the learning process. This has three main objectives;
1) To establish a baseline of skills and knowledge and therefore aid in the monitoring process for effective learning and in identifying when learning has taken place.
2) To meet the educational needs of individual learners, their skills and identify areas for
