TEACHER TRAINING
Task 1:
The central aim, objective and role of a teacher, coach, mentor, assessor, tutor, instructor,
trainer, educator in the field of education is to encourage and support their learners in terms of
obtaining their learning goal and to reach the best platform. However, under the notion of role of
the educator or teacher, the person have play many other roles at the same time, other than role
of a teacher as per the requirement of their job, in order to ensure the continuous effective
learning factor of their learners (Hughes 2005). For instance, a teacher, apart from his teaching
role also plays some of the following roles in the field of education for the students:
Firstly, of course as a Teacher, it takes on the responsibility of teaching and facilitate and
encourage students learning.
Secondly, plays the role of an Admin in order to register students or learners.
Thirdly, as a Technician it plays the role of teaching the students about operating the
computer and ICT equipment.
Fourthly, as a Logistics help the learners by providing them resources.
Fifthly, as an Assessor it performs the task of marking the work of the learners.
In the role of an educator, there are duties to perform if the teacher is to acquire the
overarching objective of ensuring the factor of learning of the students. Following the cycle of
learning recommended by Gravells in the year 2014, then an educator has responsibilities to
perform in all the five stages of the learning cycle:

TEACHER TRAINING
Identifying requirements: An educator or teacher is responsible for recognition of the
requirement of the user alongside the relevant organization. Its vital as it ensures planning that
delivers the students with the most effective ways of success in their respective subjects.
Planning of the Learning: It is the responsibility of the teacher to put the correct plan in its
respective place, customized for fulfilling individual learning style.
Encouraging Learning: It is the responsibility of the teacher to encourage learning using the
best method possible in order to promote their self learning style.
Evaluating and Assessing learning: It is the responsibility of the teacher to keep on assessing
and keeping record of the students knowledge and their progress and evaluating and monitoring
all the stages of learning.
Further role involves professional guidelines, personal conduct, maintaining subject
knowledge, setting examples and being a role model.
Every educator needs to abide by number of legislative needs passed in Parliament, like,
the Data Protection Act, the Health and Safety Act, the Children Act and the Equality Act and
other acts.
Apart from these acts there are some regulatory needs as well which are passed by
government bodies, like, Ofsted. Such regulatory needs comprises, Control of Substances, Food
Hygiene Regulations and Fire Safety among others. In ICT, in 1992 Health and Safety
regulations, are results which must be adhered in terms of learners well-being. Educators also
needs to adhere to the Code of Conduct of their selected profession. The BCS, 2015 (British
Computer Society) have a cluster of guidelines which the ICT professionals must follow (Bray
and Howard 1980). The areas are:

The public interest, states, considers privacy, security, well being, and health of
environment and others.
Professional integrity and competence, not claiming of such competence which the
person does not possess.
Duty to the profession, acting with respect and integrity.
Duty towards authority, employing the individual.
Task 2:
As per my research, in order to achieve individual learning goals of the students, it is
important for the teacher to play various roles in terms of acquire learner’s continuous learning.
To validate this process a system cycle is required. I have used the cycle of teaching, learning
and assessment in terms of identifying the requirements of the teaching and learning procedure in
various stages in order to improvise the method,
The identification of requirements not only focuses on the need of the student but also the
need of the teacher along with the need of the institution and identifying specifically the
individual needs of the learners is at the earliest stage which enables the earliest action on the
planning of the individual learning program.
After identifying the need of the learner, then the educator can provide a suitable learning
planning accordingly. As not all learners physical ability is same neither their mental abilities
are. Some leaners might suffer from vision problem, some might have hearing disability, some
might have dyslexia or some other kind of deficiency or disability. So, just arranging basic
general resources for the learning process of the student is not going to be enough for the student

or the teacher who is going to carry the process forward. The student suffering from dyslexia will
not be able to process its learning using only the basic learning tools like textbook and other
things are going to be enough like other children, it will be needing resources like, worksheets
available in Braille, or different language or printed in a separate type of font for students who
have dyslexia. In addition, they will also be needing some other resources for coping up with
their physical disabilities like, wheelchair. Also, a special person will be needed to always
observe such students with deficiencies if the student is visually impaired.
In this process, after identifying the leaders own style of learning, it becomes easier to
plan further learning strategies using different resources as per the requirement of the student in
order to deliver more affective teaching learning style. The learning cycle has been deviced by
Kolb in the year 1984,the eelssence of this cycle suggests that learner learns best when they are
not only learning from text book but also including practical form of learning;it also focuses on
the fact of learning not only inside the classroom but outside the classroom as well. This learning
cycle model can be used in a best form in terms of using it for planning activities and planning
lessons which are mostly used for engaging learners.
Experimental Learning Cycle of Kolb:
Beside all the strategies of identifying and learning for the learner, this cycle helps in
identifying and planning needs according to the learners ability and also helps in identifying and
monitoring weather the learner is taking this suitable learning process or learning force alongside
if there is any other relevant suitable process that needs to be followed. Such requirements can be
identified potentially at the stage of enrollment or in some other form of assessment initiative.

TEACHER TRAINING
Regarding the individual needs of the learner, there may be situations when the educator
is focusing on the impact of the methodology of the learning process upon their learning. As
there maybe various issues with which the learner or it’s families are might be dealing with, such
as family issue, transport issue and financial issue. The teacher is responsible for or capable of
helping the students with some of these problems like it can arrange an online setup for the
learners who are not able to attend regular classes. However, there are other problems for which
the learner might seek help elsewhere, such as any medical reason for non attendance. In such
cases the teacher should know, where the learner should refer, for example the learner can be
reffered to relevant health care specialist like psychiatrist and doctor in case of any psychological
or medical issue. On the other hand if the learner is struggling with language problem, in this
case the organization perhaps must have an EAL specialist, who can provide help to learner or
refer them to other institution or organization. Those learners struggling with financial difficulty
can be referred to a financial advisor or Citizens Advice bereau. Having the knowledge of were
to refer the learner in different cases is crucial for a teacher in order to meet the learners needs, as
per Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. In order to allow them to acquire their learning potential
(Warren 1998).
As per my research being a teacher, applying all these attributes on my learners who have
different abilities and disabilities at the same time. I found out that, just there subsequent
abilities, there ability of grasping knowledge along with there response to various teaching
strategies is different. Thus I have carefully used separate learning resources and strategies for
each of the learners, as I have categorised them accordingly. So that, each of the learners can get
equal opportunity to progress there learning.
