Roles, responsibilities and relationships in lifelong learning
1.1.3 Explain own role and responsibilities in lifelong learning
I see my role as a teacher of beauty therapy as facilitating my knowledge through learning and following the learning cycle. I usually start by trying to identify the learners needs by arranging and carrying out suitable assessments, carrying out interviews, identifying any barriers to learning and to help my learners achieve their chosen program, by using various teaching and learning approaches planning learning and taking individual needs into account. Although it is a lot more than that, it sometimes requires me to support my learners in other ways throughout their learning. It is to discuss the topic chosen and assess the various learning styles within the group and identify various teaching methods. A teacher I have also to make sure that all learners have a safe learning environment where they are able to build a trusting and honest relationship.
The main responsibility of a teacher is to keep assessing and monitoring the learners continuously and adapt the structure and delivery of the course towards the student’s needs. Taking into account any learning barriers that the students may have. We have to keep in mind that the training cycle is a continuous cycle that can be entered at any stage.
Reflection, evaluation and review are important because “only people who reflect on, and learn from, past success and failures are able to improve” (Petty, 1998) for both the teacher and the learner we need to realise from past mistakes and learn how to correct them. If we do not realize the mistake and learn how to correct it we may never know why we went wrong in the first place. As for the learner we would provide feedback on how to improve. For the teacher it is achieved through peer observations, student feedback and external moderation.
