Describe What Your Role, Responsibilities and Boundaries Would Be as a Teacher in Terms of the Teaching/Training Cycle.
Task 1: Describe what your role, responsibilities and boundaries would be as a teacher in terms of the teaching/training cycle.
The role of teacher is that of facilitator of learning their role may include, leading discussions whilst enabling and engaging students to discuss and participate with ideas. Roles, responsibilities and boundaries are evolving qualities within the teacher which are assessed and reflected upon using the teaching/training cycle.
The teaching/training cycle can be broken down into five fundamental elements; firstly, identifying the needs of the learner, this will involve an initial assessment of the learner and identifying their learning style with a view to ascertaining whether additional learning support will be required. I work in a voluntary capacity in the role of a mentor for a community based charitable organisation. I predominately work with young people from the BEM community between the ages of 11 and 19 years of age. As I do not work in a class room environment it is important that I conduct my assessment of my protégés through alternative means other than a formal assessment. The method I tend to adopt is through one-to-one interviews, where I am able to assess their needs and create an action plan based upon their requirements. My role as a mentor falls into the following categories, providing academic help and tutoring; providing career exploration assistance; providing emotional support and providing social experiences.
The second phase of the cycle is plan & design. I have to ensure that the environment where I am holding my workshop is conducive to the aim of the session, this will involve considering the room layout and ensuring that appropriate resources are available to enable delivery i.e. power point, smart board, text books and hand outs.
Thirdly I have to consider how I am going to deliver the session, this would depend on what kind of mentoring I would be delivering and whether it would be via an informal
