Teaching In The Lifelong Learning Sector (CTTLS)
Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (CTTLS) (7304)
Assignment 1
Planning and Enabling Learning
In this assignment I will be looking at how to negotiate with my learners and how to do this ensuring that each learner reaches their goal. I will also be looking at how to include my learners in their sessions as well as integrating the functional skills into their subject area, what are the communication techniques used and the possible barriers.
Negotiating with Learners
As with all students the learner should have a willingness to learn, however in order to assess my learners needs I must look at their knowledge of the subject, determine their goals and how they will achieve those goals. It is my duty to ensure that …show more content…
It is with this in mind that when writing lessons plans and delivering the lesson that the method of delivery and resources should be looked at. There are a number of learning theories about learning methods and styles. Skinner believed that a positive reinforcement experience by using praise and encouragement with enjoyable and manageable tasks would mean the learners would wish to repeat the experience. One of the most used learning styles is VAK by Neil Fleming (2012) based around and expanded the Bandler and Grindler’s Neuro Linguistic Programming. By defining the learners styles, the best learning methods and resources can be decided upon, which will include all the learners. These can include presentations, lectures, discussions, video/dvds, games or quizzes, field trips, role playing, case study’s, assignment/projects and group work. By using these within the session the tutor will have also been able to adapt session plans to suit all …show more content…

With the use of an Individual learning plan and exercises I can along with my learners assess throughout the course if they are reaching their goals and where they are lacking confidence. The use of written exercises with easy to follow instructions will help learners to understand the goal of the exercise, whilst discussing the exercises before they are started can let the learners ask any questions and letting them know that they only need to ask if they find a problem whilst completing the exercise. Using a variety of exercises such as powerpoint, word, and excel gives all my learners a challenge in their weak areas but also something within their strength area. For those with dyslexia exercises on coloured paper may help whilst those who are deaf may need an interpreter. For my learners with more specific learning difficulties I will enlist the help of a support
