Functional Skills Delivery Model
This model is by no means perfect, there are several weaknesses to this within my professional setting. Curriculum as context for all its proactive traits can also be very reactive. Curriculum changes happening because of a disaster or public perception or media story can lead to confusion and contradiction, this is evident in Functional Skills delivery. Policy makers can often disagree on the effectiveness or relevance of Functional Skills qualifications, often changing student requirements and eligibility guidelines. Within my setting, decisions regarding curriculum are made by people with none or limited teaching experience or background, decisions being made for purely financial reasons, without considerations made towards the educational

    This chapter was building on the idea that there is a system in place for curriculum planning that as teacher we should be aware of. As future educators we have to have a basic understanding of how it works. There are many different influences of school curriculum; from unions, and private sectors, to our legislations in the Federal government. Curriculum in our years will not only be influenced by State and Federal…

    Explain Ways To Embed Functional Skills

    Registering Births, Deaths and Marriages requires use of all the functional skills so it is vitally important for me as the tutor to embed these within the teaching session. During my micro teach session I used a variety of methods to introduce different functional skills to the learners. For example, I spoke about the history of registration and how a fine of £2 was introduced in 1875 for people who didn’t register their children’s births. As the annual salary was about £40 per year it gave the students an idea of what proportion of their salary the fine was.…

    Explain How to Embed Functional Skills Into Your Specialist Area

    The specialist area within which I work is delivering Key and Functional Skills. Therefore, the main focus is on English and maths. The challenge I have is less about embedding Functional Skills, and more about encouraging learners to apply the skills they are learning within life, learning and work. The learners I work with are those who did not achieve grade C or above in their GCSE English and or maths, and many of them struggle with these subjects due to a lack of interest or due to low ability. Therefore, the challenge for me is to teach the skills they need in a way that is interesting and meaningful, so that they are able to learn and retain the skills and apply them beneficially.…

    Functional Skills (Pttls)

    It has been through targeting the need to raise the standard of adult literacy and numeracy in the country that tutors recognised that many adult learners wanted to learn something for either pleasure, for qualifications or for employment but few were attracted to the classes of literacy or numeracy in their own right. No more so apparent was that in the field of English as a Second Other Language (ESOL) in which I have worked since 1993, where it was clear that students needed fluency in the written and spoken English to gain employment but often did not enjoy lessons that did not seem to have real significance to their life and work needs.…

    Education and Curriculum

    The word ‘curriculum’ originates from the chariot tracks in Greece. In Latin ‘curriculum’ was a racing chariot; and ‘currere’ was to run. Therefore it was a course. ‘Curriculum is a body of knowledge-content and/or subjects. Education in this sense is the process by which these are transmitted or 'delivered' to students by the most effective methods that can be devised.’ (Blenkin et al 1992, pg 23). And so, curriculum is the activities that learners will undertake to achieve certain learning achievements and goals. The planning, learners experience and order in which it occurs are all part of the curriculum. There are a vast amount of elements that help shape a curriculum and there are many different strategies and approaches to the design and implementation of a curriculum. In both day opportunities and the training department of South Tyneside Council for whom I work, the curriculum is designed around the objectives set by my employer.…
