Unit summary
The aim
The aim of this unit is to develop my understanding of the roles & responsibilities of a teacher in lifelong learning & the relationship between different professionals in lifelong learning. I will also learn about taking responsibilities for maintaining a safe & supportive environment for learners.…
I chose the topic of ‘music, drum, and rhythm workshop’ because it’s practical, fun, universally accessible, the vast majority of people like music, it can be applicatory to absolute beginners all the way to advanced musicians and it advocates group work and student centred learning. Other options that I considered included a group piano lesson, drum kit lesson or DJ lesson. I eliminated these options because of the limitations on group work and learners having to observe and wait until they could have a go on the equipment. The rhythm workshop allows everyone to work and learn together with no waiting time.…

In order to promote inclusive learning it is preferable to do an induction or selection process to identify the needs of all learners to avoid excluding anyone, either directly or indirectly. All students must be treated equally and fairly. Induction should include attitudes and behaviour of all attendees and notice must be given to all actions and behaviours which must be considered to avoid actions being taken ‘the wrong way’. People have different backgrounds and cultural differences may be misunderstood by others. It is important to allow for individual perceptions. Discussion and negotiation must be undertaken and all learners…
Groups may be defined in many ways, indeed providing an absolute definition of a group, as with much of the theory around group work, is highly problematic and contestable. However for the purposes of discussing groupwork within a context of working with young people we may define a group as a small gathering of young people. Group work may simplistically be described as the study and application of the processes and outcomes experienced when a small group comes together.…
Question 3: From July 1 2009, most Australian workplaces are governed by a new system created by the Fair Work Act 2009. Who will administer this act and what will they do in relation to enforcing Commonwealth workplace law?…
What makes this world so unique is that there are not two people the same. That makes for many different learning styles and personality types. I will cover a few examples of each and how they are beneficial in helping a group communicate and collaborate effectively.…
As a simple model of exploring team dynamics, Tuckmans stages of Group Development (forming, storming, norming and performing) could have been used to create a good working team, which as the theory explains, do not just happen with being led (Mullins, 2016). The model could have worked to increase team effectiveness and overcome conflict, which is a natural occurrence, but something that particularly needed resolving in this situation. The model proposes four stages: forming would have allowed the team to build an emotional connection with the ED, and trust to be built upon; storming would have allowed for conflict to be discussed, which was a particular problem in the situation around frustrations with the ED and differences in approaches,…
The foundation for all Learning Teams is based on effective communication. Learning how to develop these skills are necessary if one is to attain the desired goals, share a healthy relationship based on trust, and mutual understanding. “It is important that all members of the team have a clear understanding of his or her roles and responsibilities” (Ghosh, 2008). All of these things are possibly when the team as a whole develop and practice effective communication skills.…
Working as a group can be challenging and sometimes frustrating. Some group members may have more knowledge or experience in the field that is being analyzed. Every individual will have their own opinions, beliefs, and ethics. The purpose of this paper is to define my personal reflection on participating in a group case study of Locus of Control, and my beliefs, likes and dislikes of working in a group. I will also present my review on another group’s case study presentation.…
When a group comes together for the first time and begins to interact, various differences between the members begin to appear: differences in status, influence, role, ability, and so on. The pattern of relationships that is thus established is known as the group structure. The pattern will, of course,…
they can motivate the most lackadaisical of students, juggle a seemingly endless list of responsibilities, make theory and applications of gas chromatography come alive for…
Using our current annual appraisal system for members of staff I have identified a gap in the development needs for me and a member of my team. The development needs were identified by on the job skills gaps with regards to populating databases on the computer etc. I then matched the criteria from the job descriptions and personal specifications and identified the areas for development. My development need was to learn the new revised information governance policy which is one of the requirements of my role. It had been identified that the other team member had a gap in her Information Technology training, a lot of database population is now required within her role, which she felt she did…
