    A1 - Include a Reflective Account of the Role of the Practitioner in Supporting the Learning Needs of Children

    The role of the practitioner in supporting the learning needs of children is they have to do regular assessments on their development and learning to identify their progress and plan their next steps Beaver, et .al, (2008). The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), (2008) states that the role of the practitioner is crucial in observing and reflecting on children’s spontaneous play, building on this by planning and providing a challenging environment which supports specific areas of children’s learning and extends and develops children’s language and communication in their play.

    Hat Task 1

    Edgecombe County is a very rural community lying in the eastern section of North Carolina. The county has a population of 52,150 with the majority of the population being African American females with the median age group of this population being 38 years old and primary langue being English (Michelle B. Etheridge, MAEd, 2010). The culture of this population hinges greatly on their religious belief. The cultural group of this county is of Christian belief but more specifically Southern Baptist Convention (retrieved from http://www.city-data.com/county/Edgecombe_County-NC.html, January 14, 2013). In interviewing various members of the Southern Baptist religious group I have found that the culture of this group is a feeling of belonging and being joyful even during times of stress. Major stressors for this group are usually personal stressors, such as individual’s health or job status for example. These issues are often then brought to the groups’ church and prayed upon by the whole congregation and support is shown as a group to help individuals through their times of hardship. This group also believes in western medicine but believes in the power of healing by way of prayer and miracles from God. The culture of marriage for this group is the belief that marriage is viewed as being something sacred and this union should be between man and women and any relationship between same sex individuals is not viewed as valid. The group also believes that infidelity is a sin (retrieved from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Baptist_Convention on January 16, 2013). The typical family structure of the southern Baptist is that of man and women in margarine possibly children with the man being the head of household. The view of conception is that children are a gift from God and they do not believe in…

    Learning Need

    “A learning needs assessment is a systematic approach to studying the state of knowledge, ability, interest, or attitude of a defined audience or group involving a particular subject” (University of Idaho, 2009, p. 3). There are two goals for a learning needs assessment. The first goal is learn what the target audience already knows, and the second goal is understand what can be done to make teaching the target audience successful (University of Idaho, 2009). On the pulmonary step down unit at Christiana Care Hospital Newark campus a learning needs assessment was conducted on if nurses knew how to perform proper mouth care on ventilator patients.…

    1.1 Teaching assistants should be a lot more actively involved in delivering learning activities. This may be by setting up the room with the correct resources before the lesson takes place and laying out the tables and chairs etc. One to one support may be needed for some pupils; this should have been discussed before the lesson. It may be that the T.A is put to work with one specific table/group of children or just float around the classroom and be available if any of the children ask for help. It would be most likely that after the activity the T.A would pack resources and work away while…
