Describe What Your Role, Responsibilities and Boundaries Would Be as a Teacher in Terms of the Teaching Training Cycle
7303 Award on Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector
Assignment 1 - Theory
1 Describe what your role, responsibilities and boundaries would be as a teacher in terms of the teaching training cycle.
I am tutoring adults to achieve an A1 qualification - qualifies the learners to assess an NVQ in the job and area of expertise that they are competent in. The teacher training cycle is divided into 5 parts and supports the tutors roles and responsibilities.
PLAN – Advertising the qualification. I advertise the qualification to schools in Newcastle-upon Tyne via Newsletters, e-mails to administration staff, letters to SENCO’s and by a memory key that is posted to school’s. A boundary would be lack of input for how and where the advert / information are advertised. Working closely with the organisation responsible for the course could allow you as tutor to have some input.
City & Guilds have criteria for the A1 and they are the Examination Board that I use. They require that an A1 candidate have knowledge and understanding of the NVQ that they will be assessing, are competent in their area of speciality (e.g. Teaching assistant NVQ - have completed an NVQ / they are a teaching assistant / teacher etc) and will train to maintain their expertise and role / responsibilities as an assessor. If the candidate does not have a good knowledge of the NVQ process I offer an induction to the NVQ process and qualification which consists of two 2 hours sessions, followed with 4 sessions on achieving the A1, 1-1 with learners and assessors meetings.
The time scale in achieving the qualification is set at 18 months. This can be a boundary set by the awarding body though normally there is an appeal process where you can ask for an extension.. The qualification is gained by meeting the standards and gathering evidence that shows competence. The A1 structure and standards are a boundary as I have no input into the qualification and requirements for achievement.
