PTTLS Theory 1

The teacher training cycle has 6 headings which will be identified below and expanded upon. An example of the roles, responsibilities and boundaries that need to be considered by teachers will be incorporated into each title. The roles, responsibilities, and boundaries may reoccur in the different phases but to show diversity for this assignment it is intended to use a different example in each. Identifying Needs The role of the teacher for this sub section is to find out what needs to be taught. The teacher is responsible in ensuring this happens before the course development starts. The teachers boundary for this initial phase is to ensure that they do not go beyond the needs requirement and they understand what the student is capable of. Planning The teachers role includes the creation of a teaching plan and to prepare a scheme of work that can be delivered to the group. The plan is to be based upon the needs identified in the previous stage. The responsibility of the teacher is to ensure that a Course Training Package (CTP) is planned correctly this will ensure that there is a set standard which can be used to maintain consistency when teaching more than one course. The boundaries for the planning round are likely to include financial, time and location restrictions. Designing The role of a teacher in course design is to work within the boundaries from the previous stage to produce the training for course delivery. At this stage the teacher is responsible for the preparation and obtaining suitable resources to aid the teacher in course delivery. The boundaries will include understanding the limits of the teacher, health and safety regulations must be taken into account for both the students and the teachers. Facilitating The teachers role is to deliver the training in a safe environment once the design stage has been complete. Other roles will include acting as a mentor and imparting their knowledge on to students. They are responsible for encouraging personal development of the students and ensuring that lessons are delivered correctly in a way that the student can understand. The teacher must not start to teach above and beyond what has been identified as the requirement. They must ensure that they do not start to add to the course content without going back through the cycle. This constraint is the teachers main boundary at this stage, however they must understand their own limits and not venture beyond. Assessing Educational assessment is the process of HYPERLINK http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Documenting o Documenting documenting, usually in measurable terms, HYPERLINK http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge o Knowledge knowledge and HYPERLINK http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skill o Skill skills.The role of the teacher is to carry out assessments to check on learning, from these assessments the teacher will be able to judge if the student will achieve the final outcome which was identified at the start of the process. The teachers responsibility is to remain impartial at all times, they are responsible for collating results from the assessments and carrying out analysis of the results. From the study of the results the teacher must be honest enough to brief the students if there are any short falls in their learning that may mean failure of the outcome which is a fully qualified student. Some assessments include written exams and tests and a boundary that the teacher needs to understand is the students limits, this may include language and written abilities. Evaluation A process can only evolve and improve with evaluation. The teachers role means that they have to engage with the student to get feedback from them. Their responsibility is to listen to the feedback given and feed it back into the cycle if required. The boundary for the feedback forms or discussion has to be the limit of what was taught on the course. Conclusion The teacher training cycle is an evolving process where improvements to the course can be fed into the system. The roles, responsibilities and boundaries can be found in two or more of the phases as they all work closely with each other.
