TASK A
1.1- Defining the concepts of professionalism and dual professionalism in education and training
Professionalism is referred as a skill which is helpful for individuals and organizations to
conduct their professional practices formally. It plays a vital role in the overall development of
individuals and helps in increasing discipline and knowledge of the people to stay focussed
towards their objectives (Garrett, Anthony and Jackson, 2018). Following the appropriate code
of conduct is a crucial aspect in my teaching role as it provides proper guidelines to perform the
tasks appropriately and fulfil the demands of the work. Being professional is crucial for
becoming an effective leader and guide the students effectively. Professionalism helps in
attracting people towards the person which is helpful in order to gain better recognition and
improve the efficiency.
Dual professionalism is a wider and more effective term than professionalism which
helps people to being professional towards their goals and constantly develop new and effective
skills for achieving them. Teachers having specialist area expertise in any field may be able to
contribute more towards the success of their students (Boud and et.al., 2018). Having a
membership of the professional bodies such as Society for Education and Training (SET) is
helpful for teachers to have better knowledge about the subjects and provide practicality to their
students. By following such standards they are able to conduct a better practice for their students
and increase their trust towards the growth.
1.2- Explaining the ways in which professional values influence own practice area of specialism.
The professional values have a major influence on the own practice area of specialism
which has improved my efficiency to produce better quality of output in the industry. With the
help of these values and aspects, I have been able to meet the organizational requirements which
are stated in their policies and procedures. It plays a significant role in the educational and
training sector and helps in enhancing the services of the business. Developing specialist skills
and knowledge of the topics regular is a major professional value which is required in order to
gain better output from teaching students and increasing their overall learning abilities (D'Elia,
Mazzeo and Raiola, 2018). By upgrading these skills, I have been able to connect better with the
students and improve their engagement towards their personal and professional goals. It is
helpful in finding CPD opportunities which plays a significant role in the overall development of

the formal and informal stability of the professionals. By improving the professional
qualifications I will be able to increase my productivity in producing better results and enhancing
the business outcome.
It is important for me to promote quality in the context of teaching and learning
systematically, in term of conducting professional practices, that are valuable. It influences
positively upon my practice in the context of business as specialism area.
2.1- Explaining ways in which factors impact educational policy,
The forms and procedures which are developed for the benefit of education and training
sector are referred as education policies. These policies are crucial to standardize the education
and training practices in the industry. There are different external factors such as political, social
and economic which have a significant impact on these policies and leads to different changes in
the structure of the business.
Political
The decisions of government towards the eduction and training sector may create several
changes in the education policy and helps to get better advantage in the industry. The overall
economic growth and prosperity agenda may help the government to contribute more towards
the development of education sector and introduce various facilities for the students (McCann
and Brown, 2018). The underpinning of ideology of the businesses is crucial for them to make
effective developments in the education policy. The national events which are conducted by the
government may lead towards changes in the education policies which are crucial for the
business to grow.
Social
The social factors may have a significant influence on the education policies as the
raising standards in the industry can increase their productivity to produce better output. The
employment and training (NEETS) may reduce the opportunities for potential candidates to get
better educational opportunities. There are major differences in the performance of minority
groups which may reduce the overall effectiveness of the education policy for the teachers and
students and create negative impact on their overall success.
Economic
The impact that local and international economies have on the performance of the
educational sector leading to changes in the formation of the industry (Garrett, Anthony and

Jackson, 2018). The increasing unemployment in the country may lead to shortage of potential
teachers who have relevant in the field of education and training. Globalization have had a
positive influence on the industry as people from different countries are sharing their ideas and
resources which helps in facilitating the education policy.
4.1- Explaining key aspects of policies, codes of practice and guidelines of an organization.
There are various policies, code of conducts and guidelines in training and development
organizations which is helpful in maintaining the practices which are crucial for operations.
Equality and diversity is adopted for conducting fair and appropriate practices for the
development of the students. Transparency of the management plays a crucial role in providing
the teachers and students with the appropriate information about the rules that are to be followed
in the business (Mukhalalati and Taylor, 2019). Observing of the teaching which is provided to
the students is measured in order to monitor the performance of teachers. This aspect is crucial
for increasing the efficiency of the learning process which will be beneficial for the students to
grow. These factors are considered by the educational organizations to give better contribution
towards the success of their business.
Health and Safety Act 1974, provides strategic direction to educational institute in term
of maintaining safety in the workplace for purpose of providing safe and positive environment to
both students and teachers. It may enable them to retain skilled and experienced candidates who
are able to provide excellent knowledge to learners.
TASK B
3.1- Explaining the role of external bodies and stakeholders in education and training
Stakeholders play a vital role in the performance of individuals which is crucial in order
to grow and achieve better success in the industry. These stakeholders and external bodies helps
in improving the internal processes of the business which plays a beneficial for the educational
organizations to gain benefit. The internal staff is significant in order to conduct the training and
development practices which defines the productivity of the business (D'Elia, Mazzeo and
Raiola, 2018). Senior management is crucial for monitoring the overall performance of the
employees which is useful to identify certain challenges and make effective changes in the
strategy of the business. The suppliers of the valuable resources have a major influence on the
profitability of the organization and changes in their abilities and preferences is not beneficial for
the success of the business. Training providers are crucial for the business to supply high quality

training to the students which will be beneficial to improve their popularity in the business
environment.
3.2- How being accountable to stakeholders and external bodies impact on organizations in
education and training
Ofsted is a government organization which aims at raising the eduction and social care
standards of the children. Accountability is considered as crucial for building better relationships
with the stakeholders and gaining their trust towards the development of the organization. It is
crucial for the organization to meet their targets effectively for the overall completion of the aims
and objectives of the organization. Clarity in reporting of the tasks which have been completed
by the employees is effective for the business in order to enhance their services and produce
better quality of output (Goodyear, 2020). It helps in building better and stronger links within the
industry which is crucial for increasing the overall success of the organization to provide
enhanced training to the customers. With the help of accountability in the management, people
will be able to achieve better results and enhance the overall output which is achieved by them.
3.3- Why is is essential to work in partnership with employers and other stakeholders in
education and training
The employers are key stakeholders of the business which may provide educational
organizations to enhance their decision making process and gain better advantage in the industry.
The collaboration of educational institutions with these employers is helpful for enhancing the
decision making process of the business. This is useful in recruiting the employees with current
experience in their respective field. It is also useful in minimising the risks which are associated
with placements that has a significant impact on the business (Mukhalalati and Taylor, 2019).
Quality assurance programmes may help in providing better assistance to the children and
increasing the competitive advantage of the company in the industry. Progression opportunities
are useful for the business to enhance the abilities of their employees to perform.
The partnerships with stakeholders is crucial in order to enhance the success of the
business and achieve better productivity in performing the specific tasks of the business.
Collaborative programmes may help the business to engage their students towards the learning
practices which may require external efforts of the stakeholders (Ilardo and Speciale, 2020).
Schools are major stakeholders which can provide appropriate resources and guidance to the
organization in order to enhance the quality of output. Staff development institutions are useful

for increasing the productivity of the employees to produce better quality of output which is
effective for the business to grow. Awarding bodies are major stakeholders which may improve
the morale of employees by providing them with rewards and benefits on the basis of their
contribution towards the business.
TASK C
2.2- Current educational policies on curriculum and practice in area of specialism.
Educational policies may put direct impact on varied practices and actions related to
teaching such as curriculum. It may effect, in term of creating curriculum framework, which
covers key skills or competencies that aid to promote minimum core, and OFQUAL standard for
assessment. It is a kind of positive impact that influence students to study more in appropriate
and systematic manner (Gyamera and Burke, 2018). It may drive the attention of tutors toward
providing learners learning opportunity related to employment and enhance their capability to
understand or develop wider skills, including transferable, which is suitable in regard to
employment. In the recent time, it is quite essential for individual learner to develop the current
competency, as it help to reach reside outcomes in term of excellent employment opportunity
that they may grab with good planning and strategy implementation.
Educational policies may put similar impact on practice related to specialism area and
that is English. It may drive the attention of individual teacher toward setting inspection standard
that they may follow appropriately, along with consideration of other things. It may enable them
to address target as well as performance indicator and also contribute to understand quality code.
Each policy impact in term of enhancing tutor performance, even better than last few years or
months in the field of education.
3.4- Being accountable to stakeholders & external bodies on curriculum design, delivery and
assessment.
It is important for a tutor to meet stakeholders needs and expectations by designing a
curriculum. It can be said that the design of a curriculum may put direct impact on stakeholders
such as students and academic institute management in term of meeting their essential needs and
requirements in appropriate manner (Campbell-Phillips, 2020). Teachers are accountable to
identify and analyse the learners needs, which drive their attention toward making or designing
curriculum accordingly. As it aid to meet their needs in term of obtaining high scores, more than
the other learners during each session. Curriculum design might be impacted from stakeholders

in term of providing opportunities for progression in the context of learners. As their needs drive
the concentration of tutors toward adding those valuable elements that help to achieve target
aims of learners. National standards, utilization of new and develop technologies and
qualifications are those terms that define the impact on curriculum of stakeholder as well as
external bodies.
It may also affect delivery and assessment positively in term of flexible and blended
learning opportunity that help students to study appropriately. It aids to meet awarding
organizational standards and also contribute to create work based learning environment
effectively.
4.2- Organizational requirements and expectations on curriculum & practice their area of
specialism.
There are different types of forces accessible in the academic world that put direct impact
on practice related to specialism area and curriculum such as organizationals needs and
expectation. These two forces may put positive influence on curriculum in term of driving tutors
attention toward addressing collective and individual accountabilities and promoting diversity as
well as equality of growth chances (Ma, and Siau, 2018). When organizations in the educational
world expect to support student's growth, then tutors may move toward the same, by conducting
practice to design a curriculum that support to verify overall study related procedure
appropriately.
Organizational expectation may also affect curriculum and practice in area of specialism
such as English. As they may expect to keep personal & professional update and evaluate the
practice that a tutor may plan to conduct in appropriate manner. It may also enable a teacher to
work with other tutors, for purpose of making curriculum effective and beneficial for each and
everyone. It may enable them to provide desire outcomes to students, which they plan to obtain
from longer time and work really harder to reach at the same. Collaborative working is one of
those expectations that may impact on curriculum and practice in form of aim achievement. I am
accountable to fulfil the requirement and expectations of company, in which I am working for
purpose of teaching lesson in the context of business lesson plan.

TASK D
5.1- Analysing quality improvement and assurance in company.
Quality improvement plan is one of those practices that management may conduct in
order to improve the quality in the context of teaching as specialism and area such as English.
This plan may include varied practices and activities that drive the attention of tutors toward
improving the way they may perform and conduct any activity related to teaching. Staff
mentoring is another approach that a tutor may adopt, for purpose of quality improvement as it
enable them to develop new skills and improve the existing that affect positively. In service
training is also included in category of quality improvement technique that contribute to improve
the performance of tutors, even better than last few months or weeks.
It can be analysed that quality assurance is another term that a tutor is accountable to take
into its consideration, which enable to focus on course review, verification of documentation and
self-assessment. These terms may aid them to assure the quality of their work and give other
opportunities to do the same appropriately and in systematic manner. It may enable individual
person to reach desire outcomes and focus on developing more in the future, without making any
mistake that impact negatively.
5.2- Explaining the function of self-assessment and evaluation in quality cycle.
Self-assessment and evaluation in the quality cycle plays important role in the context of
aim achievement, whether it is short, long or medium terms. The main function of self-
assessment is to use feedback from others, which enable tutors to inform practice and improve
the areas where minor or major mistakes require improvement (Brown and et.al., 2019). Formal
self-assessment review is another function that play significant role in regard to improve tutors
performance and drive their concentration toward developing knowledge related to new things
that aid to reach desire results. Informal session and course evaluation is another term that covers
under the list of self-assessment function.
It may also include the practice of responding students feedback in appropriate manner,
which is the main accountability of a tutor (Jurabaevich and Bulturbayevich, 2021). It may
enable them to support learners by providing key reviews in form of feedback that each learner is
accountable to consider and gain benefit from that in term of improve performance and
increasing effectiveness to accomplish study. Self-evaluation function is to determine

opportunities for chance and also to identify the changes in further delivery of study material
such as curriculum, which students are accountable to follow and take into their consideration.
5.3- Evaluating the learning programme taking account of quality arrangements of firm.
It can be evaluated that learning programme is quite beneficial and essential for everyone
who may tend to study appropriately and seek to obtain high scores throughout their academic
career. It may enable a teacher to assure quality by making essential arrangements in term of
early review, which allow checking meeting expectation and requirement of stakeholders
(Roskosa and Stukalina, 2018).
Informal and formal learner feedback, is the best example of learning programme, that
tutor take into their account for quality arrangements in form of driving their attention toward
conduct a practice and that is reactive in response to concern of students. This form of
arrangement may influence positively upon individual learner initiatives and efforts they may put
to obtain outcomes which they expect from longer time. Informal and formal learner feedback as
learning programme consideration in form of providing opportunities to students for planning,
related to further success, that boost their confidence and morale as well. They may add more
value in current quality assurance practice which pleasure students may take in form of learning
and developing new things that assure they may deliver good work and obtain the best outcome
of that strategically and effectively.
5.4- Determining areas for improvement in their learning programmes taking account of outcome
of evaluation.
Feedback collection is the main area for improvement in the learning programme that
take account of results of evaluation such as student survey data, that helps a teacher to identify
where a learner require growing and which area they may improve for purpose of obtaining high
scores (Tanis, 2020). It is necessary for tutor to provide feedback after learning programme to
those students who may engage themselves into that, which contribute to improve and develop
their understanding related to varied concept or subjects related to study material. Feedback from
stakeholders is another example of outcome related to evaluation that might be considered as an
area for improvement in learning programme.
Share need for change with those accountable person who may assure quality in
appropriate manner and also support learners to learn new things throughout learning programme
that encompasses some valuable and essential elements (Tamah, Triwidayati and Utami, 2020).

All the areas for improvement or enhancement in learning system may provide benefits to both
parties such as tutors and students, who may work hard to achieve their aim and objectives, with
expectation of progress in excellent way that is not easy for anyone to do that.
