A suitable teaching, learning and assessment environment is crucial for effective learning to take place. This includes not only the venue, equipment and resources used, but also attitude and support you give to your students and learners. Learning can take place in a variety of contexts; for example, classrooms, the workplace, training rooms, workshops, outdoors and online. While learning can take place almost anywhere, not all environments will be totally suitable; however, it's how you teach your subject and assess it that will lead to effective learning. If you can convey passion and enthusiasm for your subject you will help motivate your learners to want to learn more. You might be restricted by the availability of particular classrooms or resources; therefore you need to be imaginative with what's available to you. The learning environment has three aspects; physical, social and learning. Each has an impact on the others and all three aspects should be appropriate, relevant and safe. Some aspects will interact and overlap to ensure teaching, learning and assessment can be effective for everyone.

Justify how your teaching and learning approaches meet individual needs. |
Every teacher needs to realize and believe that all the learners who are pursuing the particular course need to acquire equal education, experiences, and prospective aspirations from their course. But the learners are presented with varied dynamics. So it's very much crucial for the teacher to meet the requirements of each learner without any discrimination. The cycle of Teaching, Learning, and Assessment is usually compelled for a practical model of teaching and is beneficial to assimilate a perpetual ongoing assessment besides passing through the numerous phases of learning (Gravells, 2017). Since the Lash and Brow courses are also practical ones, the learning approaches need to be both observational and interactive to make sure that all the learners are gaining equal knowledge. For example, a session can begin with a verbal trial that will empower an indication of what can be the prominent learning styles of a particular group. The teacher can also ask the students to ask each other questions regarding Lash fixing or brow setting. Such approaches will act as an icebreaker and will also indicate the expectations of the students, i.e.; what they want to learn or focus on(Morgan, 2019). A variety of hands-on demonstrations can be used for promoting discussion and then the teacher can move to PowerPoint presentations and furnish them with real-life experiences. The session can be finished by illustrating various scenarios for reviewing in small groups and getting feedback from all. Such an individual tailored program will ensure that the students retain their interests and feel valued (Hidayat, 2020). |

Justify how your assessment methods meet individual needs. |
Assessments can provide evidence of learning All assessment methods should be situated to the level and ability of the learner. There are many ways of assessing a learners knowledge and understanding of a topic. Formal & Informal Assessment Methods Formal; Assignments, Case studies, Essays, Observations, Tests, Written Testimonials, Professional Discussions & Questions Informal; Discussions, Peer and Self Assessment, Role Play, Practical Activities This can be in the form of a practical assessment, case study, written assessment or an exam. Identifying and meeting individual learner needs boosts their morale and encourages them. In some cases, the learner does not gain much from mass instruction. As such, when the teacher provides individually prescribed instruction (IPI) it significantly helps many learners to understand and grasp educational concepts. Assessment methods can be adapted to meet individual learner needs in the following ways: Learners with dyslexia can have extra time to complete the assessment. ... Learners with dyslexia may find multiple choice questions easier to read, or questions can be read out to them Some Examples of of meeting learners needs;
For assessing my students I will be using both Practical and theoretical, internally and externally assessed assignments througj demonsation, pratical assement and coaching. |
Assessment Criteria: 2.3
Explain ways to engage and motivate learners
Give at least three examples, and try to explain how these might work in your proposed teaching area
Word Count: 250 words maximum
The key to teaching topics that learners may find difficult or which they are unwilling to engage with is to consider the use of innovative teaching and learning methods. Learners may arrive in the classroom tired, reluctant or uninterested in the topic I have planned. It is my role as a teacher to find ways to overcome this. This might be through the use of incentives such as an early break or less work to do for homework if work is completed in the class or how I plan the lesson to make it interesting and engaging. Examples; Asking learners to write a poem or song of summering key points of the legislation Asking learners to create a poster , either on the computer or paper outlining COVID protocalls in the work place for staff and customers Asking learners to act out a scenario where health and safety legislation was not adhered to |
Assessment Criteria: 2.4
Summarise ways to establish ground rules with learners
Give at least three contextual examples. Also, describe the negotiable and non-negotiable rules, giving an indication of how these might be established and managed.
Word Count: 250 words maximum
Setting ground rules at the commencement of a course is an important way of ensuring that individuals within a group feel safe and supported throughout their learning journey. Sometimes rules are enforced such as health and safety rules, but some rules are negotiated, for example, break times or the use of mobile telephones. In the adult environment it is recognised that negotiated rules and behaviours are much more likely to be adopted than rules which are enforced. Non-negotiable;
Negotiable;
There are a number of reasons why negotiating rules is the preferred approach for setting rules with learners.
It gives them a sense of ownership of the rules, they feel their views are important, the learners are more likely to adhere to them.
One way to establish ground rules with your learners is where you both you and your learners work together by a process of discussion and negation. This enables your learners to recognise what is and not acceptable, giving them a sense of ownership and responsibility. It also enables learners to begin working together as a group and encourages aspects such as listening, compromise and respect for others.
Alternately, your learners can write down the rules individually, then discuss in pairs and join into fours to create a poster or a list on flip chart paper.
