1.1 Roles, Responsibilities and Relationships in Lifelong Learning.
Analyse your own roles and responsibilities in lifelong learning.
In this assignment I will be exploring the various roles and responsibilities of a teacher in the lifelong learning sector. There are many roles and responsibilities to consider in any teaching environment.
Our first and foremost responsibility is that of a pedagogist, that is one who performs “Any conscious activity by one person designed to enhance learning in another” (Understanding Pedagogy: And Its Impact on Learning edited by Peter Mortimore 1999 - Sage) [C14: from Latin paedagōgus, from Greek paidagōgos -slave who looked after his master's son.] (Collins English Dictionary – Complete and Unabridged © HarperCollins Publishers 1991, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2003) We are responsible for our master’s sons, for their learning and for making the right decisions in terms of facilitating their learning.

How we achieve this basic principle has been the subject of endless theorising and debate over millennia. The current understanding of how people learn is, of course, what leads us to teach as we do today. It is what causes us to consider the individual, to discriminate in favour of diversity, to be inclusive and to encourage equality in all we do.
As a teacher in engineering I have to take into account the requirements of the various acts of parliament concerning the class room environment in which I teach. These being workshops, the Health And Safety At Work Act 1974, Manual Handling Operation Regulations 1992, RIDDOR 1995, Management of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1999 and the COSHH Regulations 2002 all place a burden upon me to provide a safe working environment for the students in my charge.
