Lesson
To get to know your teacher and your classmates, you are going to take part in a speaking activity. You are going to introduce yourself to your classmates. Most of the things you talk about should be true, but you must tell one lie!
Warmer
ReflectionHow did you feel during that activity? Did you enjoy it, and did it help to 'break the ice'? Do you think it would be appropriate for every class?
Warmer
Other ideas for ice breaker activites:1, Write down one thing you are good at, one thing you are not so good at and one thing you would like to learn (shared on your screen or written on the board). Your students ask you questions about each thing you have listed. The students then do the same (in groups if the group is large).2, 'Introduce your partner' activities can work well for less confident groups. You could give them a set of questions, then put them into breakout groups and ask them to make notes on their partner's answers.

Session Objectives
Depending on the class, it can be very important to establish ground rules at the beginning of the program.You have a class of 10 students. They are a mix of male and female students, all studying an apprenticeship in Early Years. You have met them at induction, and two of the students were not available via webcam, and were not responsive. The other students were present, but did not engage well when you tried to ask them questions to check what they had understood.What ground rules would you put in place for this class? Add your ideas to the Padlet. Be prepared to discuss why you would implement these rules with this group.
Establishing Ground Rules
My Tips for Creating Ground Rules
- Agree on the rules with the students, ensuring that the reasoning for each rule is clear
- If you would like to use the 'raise hand' function in Zoom, make sure the students know how to use it, and have a system for using it. It can get a bit confusing otherwise!
- Be clear with instructions on how you would like students to respond to your verbal questions
- Be strict with lateness and attendance whatever group you have
Establishing Ground Rules
Safeguarding
Safeguarding and promoting of welfare is defined as:
- Protection from maltreatment
- Preventing impairment to health or wellbeing
- Ensuring our environments and provision is safe
- Having procedures for recording and reporting concerns
- Your Safeguarding Officer (SO) is Sarah Taylor. You should report your concerns to her
Prevent
Safeguarding and promoting of welfare is defined as:
- Prevent people from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism
- Ensure they are given appropriate support and advice
- Respond and challenge terrorist ideologies and the threat we face from those who promote it
- Work with sectors and institutions where there are risks of radicalisation which we need to address
Teaching Company Policies
Policies and administrational information can be dry, and students may have studied it beforeHow could you make delivering this information more interesting and feel more relevant for students?
Teaching Company Policies
Quiz QuestionsQuizzes introduce an element of competition, and can be fun. You could do one before the you deliver the information as a prediction excercise, or after as a knowledge check.
Teaching Company Policies
DiscussionsDiscussions can help students to discover the relevance of procedures, and encourage collaboration within the group. The onus is not only on the teacher to make the information interesting, but on the students as well.

2. Planning and design
3. Delivery/facilitation
4. Assessment
5. Evaluation
The Teaching, Learning and Assessment CycleIn a group, briefly discuss what roles could fit into each category. In groups, add them to a Google Doc, then Check with Gravells (page 3).

Responsibilities
What is the difference between a teacher's role and a responsibility?
Referencing
What is the difference between a teacher's role and a responsibility?A teacher's role refers to the various functions or positions they occupy within the learning environment. It encompasses the different identities or capacities in which a teacher operates to fulfill the needs of learners and the educational process. Responsibilities, on the other hand, refer to the specific duties or obligations they must fulfill as part of their role. These are typically more defined and structured, often linked to institutional or legal requirements. (Gravells 2024)
Behavior
Behavior
Behavior can be hard to manage, particulalry in adult learning. Consider the scenario below, and make a list of ways you could improve behavior.You are teaching functional skills English to LGV level 2 students. You have a class of eight males between the age of 18-55. Half of the class are keen to study, but the others are behaving inappropriately. They turn up late and tend to disappear for a few minutes at a time during the session. When they are working in breakout groups, they do not complete the set tasks, and you have noticed that two students make fun of the other students, and see the course as a waste of their time. They have made it clear that they are not interested in taking the qualification in front of the group, which you worry will affect motivation in the class.
Strategies and Tips for Managing Behavior
- Don’t ignore bad behavior. Address it with an appropriate and professional approach (privately is often best)
- Maintain records of behaviour to use to set targets in tutorials
- Consider group dynamics carefully when planning, e.g. timing of use of energiser activities or planning group work
- Do tasks which give resposibility to disruptive learners
- Get support, or escalate to management
- Positively reinforce good behavior
Equality and Diversity
Equality and Diversity
What is the difference between equality and diversity? Check your ideas with the definitions on the next page.
Suggestions for Promoting Equality and Diversity
- Provide opportunities for group work
- Ensure your time and attention is shared fairly between the group and individuals
- Ensure all your learners’ experiences are acknowledged, included and valued
- Differentiated activities and resources should meet individual needs
- Assessments are based on the standards
- Resources in accessible fonts and colours where needed.
- Face your learners when speaking to them and thank them for their contributions
- Role model respectful language and behaviours
Equality and Diversity
Equality is about the rights of learners to have access to, attend, and participate in their chosen learning experience. This should be regardless of their personal characteristics or circumstances.Diversity means the ways in which we are all different or diverse. If you have two or more learners, you will experience diversity. All learners are entitled to be individuals, treated fairly, and feel valued and respected.
Engagement and Motivation
Motivation
Learners can be intrinsically, extrinsically motivated (or both). Can you think of examples of each?
Intrinsic Motivation• Desire to achieve something new
Extrinsic Motivation• Career progression
Motivation
Learners can be intrinsically, extrinsically motivated (or both). Can you think of examples of each?
Intrinsic Motivation• Desire to achieve something new• Enjoyment and fulfilment • Overcoming personal challenges • Passion for subject • Personal reasons • Social interaction • To complete something previously not achieved
Extrinsic Motivation• Acceptance and approval of others• Achievement of a qualification • Career progression • Pay rise• Professional reasons • Promotion • Requirement of job role • Resolving professional situations
Maslow's Hierachy of Needs
Safety/SecurityAm in danger whilst learning? Am I worried about anything?
PhysiologicalIs the learning environment comfortable ? Am I hungry, thirsty, tired, cold ?
RecognitionDo I belong here, do others respect me?
Self ActualisationI am achieving what I wanted to?
Self EsteemAm I learning something useful ?
Maslow's Hierachy of Needs
DiscussionThink of a really good, or really bad experience you have had as a learner. How were the physiological and/or safety/security needs not met?

Keeping it Legal
Legislation
Task 3a (AC 1.2) Summarise key aspects of legislation, regulatory requirements and codes of practice relating to own role and responsibilities.GDPR As a teacher, GDPR requires me to protect students' personal data, ensuring it is only shared with authorized individuals and handled securely. I must also inform students of their data rights and follow proper procedures for consent, storage, and breach reporting.
