Assignment 426 Teaching, learning and assessment in education and training
My teaching role is to deliver professional courses that meet the governing body’s standards whilst adhering to their policy statements and codes of practice. Whilst delivering courses I use a variety of teaching methods to engage, motivate and support my learners in achieving their goals. Examples include roleplaying emergencies with simulated casualties, discussion, group work, podcasts as well as course PowerPoint’s and guided study through the learner workbook. I hope that clear communication; passion, professionalism and flexibility in my approach are evident to all the learners.
Safety, health and welfare requirements within the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 must be adhered to as well as any regulations developed from these Acts. Two examples of regulations I use are, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at Work Regulations 1992 and Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. Within my specialist area various regulations have been specifically targeted to swimming pools, open water and beaches to create Health and Safety Guidance (HSG) documents. One of these documents I refer to is Managing health and safety in swimming pools HSG179 (2003).
My responsibilities include being current with the course syllabus, technical changes and new skills. I must be competent in the delivery of information to learners; an example of this may be changes in resuscitation techniques that are reviewed every 5 years by the Resuscitation Council UK, they are responsible for the setting of standards.
Courses must be delivered within specified timescales, on budget using the predefined resources. Within the publication: RLSS UK (2010 1st Ed. revised 2013) RLSS UK Code of Practice. Organisational Standards, Guidance Notes and Policy Statements [available at www.rlss.org.uk/images/man-docs/RLSS_UK_Code_of_Practice] [section 4.1 pp8] these responsibilities are outlined.
