Student Ref: s46536
TEACHING ASSISTANT DIPLOMA COURSE
ASSIGNMENT ONE
1. Describe how you might contribute to a lesson given to a group of seven year old children learning to play percussion instruments. I may contribute by assisting in room preparation, for example, by setting up instruments, making sure they’re clean and safe to use. Also, may help by showing children how to use the instruments.
2. What might your role be in organising, using and maintaining the learning resources, material and equipment for this percussion lesson?
My role might be to help in preparing the instruments and other equipment. Also may need to check there are enough instruments for each child ( by regularly checking inventory). I would also need to help tidy up afterwards, helping to make sure all equipment/instruments are put back safely.
3. Describe how you act in class in order to be an effective role model for the standards of behaviour expected in pupils?
I would need to have a positive attitude and be able to interact well with the children. I would also benefit from being aware of the classroom rules so I could help implement them.
4. What strategies might you employ to encourage pupils to behave appropriately? Describe how you might react to incidents of bullying and violence.
I would have a rewards system in place to help encourage good behaviour. Also, there would be a set of consequences so children would know what happens if they don’t behave and to help deter inappropriate behaviour. I would offer lots of praise and let children know what is expected of them. I’d also show respect to the children in all aspects. In any incidents of bullying/violence, I would stay calm, ensure other children are away from the scene. I would take the incident seriously and let children know it is not acceptable behaviour. I would also seek help from other staff if necessary.
