INTRODUCTION
Teaching is considered as one of the major activity which develops learning capability in
children as well as youth. Teaching is generally a precise function which encourages
participation of students in several different activities. With the help of teaching it is also
possible to develop and enhance the knowledge of a particular person (Felis-Anaya, 2018).
Teaching develops competency power in a person as well as develops mental strength in a
person. In this report national policies and initiatives for the education of 14-19 children is
briefly explained. This project also explains legal framework and key legislations relating to
teachers working with the 14-19 age range. This project also includes a reflective journal and
relationship between schools and other providers of learning for 14-19 age range. This report
also includes analysis for teaching, learning and assessment approaches along with plan and
delivery and assessing learning lessons. In this report a self evaluation is also mentioned in order
to increase performance related to teaching.
TASK 1
National policies and initiatives for the education of the 14-19 range
Every child/learner matters
In the society there are many children who are present from the weaker sections of
society. The mental strength and capability of every individual is different in major sense. In the
society and educational institutes which are present in the country, that’s why every child or
learner matters. Every Child Matters (ECM) is a UK government initiative for England and
Wales that was launched in 2003, at least partly in response to the death of Victoria. This
initiative is related to children with disability in provide them equal opportunity in education.
PLTS (Personal learning and thinking skills)
Personal, learning and thinking skills is a crucial framework for stating the qualities and
skills needed for success in learning and life. With the application of this framework effective
learning skills can be developed in an individual. This approach is helpful and essential in order
to perform individual development in the mind of various learners. This framework has a total
number of six groups of skills which are:
 Independent enquirers
 Creative thinkers
 Reflective learners

 Team workers
 Self-managers
 Effective participants
National Curriculum in schools
This is most important initiative in the field of education which is related to major reform
in the educational history of UK. The national curriculum is a set of subjects and standards used
by primary and secondary schools so children learn the same things. National curriculum must
also teach religious education in the institutes in order to facilitate overall child development. In
the educational institutes it is compulsory to adopt National curriculum in order to develop a
major competitive advantage in the field of educational standards (Ferguson-Patrick, 2018). The
Government of UK is always dedicated to provide and develop best practices in the field of
education. In the field of education it is important to implement National curriculum in a precise
manner.
Structured work experience and academic
The government and the stake holders in the field of education always want an effective
structured work experience and academic related functions. The government of UK has taken a
good initiative in the field of education and introduced a structured work experience for teachers
in order to get them into teaching services. In the society, there are many educational institutions
those need effective and precise education in order to develop educational standards. With the
help of structured work experience and academic structure it will be possible for educational
institutions to perform good level educational functions.
Legal framework and key legislation relating to teachers working with the 14-19 age range
Equality Act 2010
This act is considered as one of the major acts in the educational history which was
mainly formulated for the disabled people. This act by UK government majorly focused on the
inequality which is faced by disabled people in the country and focused giving them equal
priority in the society. This act was praised by many famous politicians and is a good act which
mainly focuses on increasing the growth opportunity for disabled children.
Equipping our teachers for future
This initiative was mainly taken into consideration by government in order to bring
reforms in the training of teachers. This programme has a key role in deciding the Teachers for

the future with necessary skills in order to teach the students in a precise manner. In the
academic life practical as well as skilful knowledge play a crucial role in the development of
teachers. The training according to this initiative will be provided by professional experts in
order to efficiently train different teachers and improve their training skills. In order to improve
the training skills of teachers huge efforts are required which generally demands for effective
personal training.
Different education acts in UK
In the educational sector of UK there are several acts and laws which are formulated to
set global standards in the field of education. These acts are majorly successful in development
of quality in the field of education as well as also lead to develop education in the mind of
children (King, 2020). There are several Educational acts in the history of UK, which majorly
develops education and mental health in children. The different educational acts are considered
as major reform in transforming the educational history in UK. The major acts related to
education in UK are mentioned below:
 The Elementary Education Act 1873
 The Elementary Education Act 1876)
 The Sandon Act.
 The Elementary Education (Industrial Schools) Act 1879
 The Elementary Education Act 1880
 The Mundella Act
 The Education Act 2011
TASK 1.2
Reflective Journal
My own role and responsibilities
I consider in the field of teaching and career development, it is essential for a teacher to
have precise roles and responsibilities. I consider disciplinary role as the major role in defining
good teaching standards in an educational institution. Roles and responsibilities of teacher play
an important role in the development of children. According to me, it is essential role of a
teacher to follow the guidelines and policies which are formulated by department of education.

In my perspective, it is also essential for a teacher to follow all the major policies and plans of
the government.
Organisation policies and procedures
According to my own experience, it is essential for an organisation to adhere with
educational policies and procedures. It is the utmost responsibility of management of an
educational institution to follow and set specific guidelines which are related to functioning of an
organisation. I will personally follow all the organisational policies and procedures in order to
effectively control all the regulations and responsibility in an educational institution.
Meeting requirements of compulsory sector
In my perspective, it is also important in the compulsory sector to meet the necessary
requirements of the compulsory sector. In the educational sector it is important to fulfil the major
requirements in order to effectively conduct all the teaching related operations in a precise
manner. I personally consider that it is very much crucial to consider the necessary requirements
of education sector which also mainly relates to performance management in the field of
teaching.
Promoting inclusive practice and student inclusion
In my views, the promotion of inclusive practice and student inclusion is very much
essential in the education sector and in the field of teaching. The promotion can be facilitated by
department of education, in order to effectively develop various roles and responsibilities in the
field of education. Student inclusion is very much essential in the field of education to involve
more and students towards the education related activities. It is important for department of
education of UK to promote student inclusion and all the educational related activities in the
major institutes of UK. The inclusive practice in the field of education helps in talent
management and overall development of students which is a majorly dedicated in providing
quality of education (Mourtzis, 2018). It is the student inclusion which helps in formulating
effective development in the field of education.
TASK 2
Relationship between schools and other providers of learning for the 14-19 age range
More specialised teaching
In the field of education there are several providers of learning for the 14-19 age range.
Apart from the school and campus lines in the society there are different institutes which are

working for the development of the children. The relation between all of them is beneficial in
achievement of effective and efficient educational goals for different types of children. In the
general scenario of education it is important for school to provide all types of major education to
the children. The fee which is paid by the parents in order to educate their children is generally
high due to presence of institutes apart from the schools.
Increasing level of challenges in teaching
In the field of teaching there are several challenges which are coming regularly. It is the
utmost responsibility of management in the field of education to effectively face these types of
challenges. The challenges generally impact on the quality of education which is provided in the
schools. In the recent times, due to increased competition, it is essential for the teachers to
overcome various challenges on day to day basis. In the schools there should be formation of an
effective management team in order to overcome various challenges which are faced by the
students (Muhsin, 2019). In the educational sector, there are several challenges which are also
faced by the teachers in order to deal with several consequences. The major challenges in the
teaching are mentioned below:
 Lack of professional, skilled and expert teachers who are capable of teaching a
subject in a precise manner.
 There is a lack of proper infrastructure in the schools and institutes.
 In the schools there is lack of optimum resources for teaching which makes it hard
for the teachers to teach the respective subjects
 In only few institutes only there is global level of education standards are available,
rest institutes are functioning as a normal body.
Working towards providing skilled workforce
It is very much essential for the society and government towards providing skilled
workforce. The skilled workforce is the major requirement in the environment of education
which can facilitate the functioning of education sector in a precise manner. The working should
happen in a precise and professional in order to achieve timely results on effective timely basis.
The skilled workforce is helpful in providing quality of education which is one of the major
requirements of the whole country. In the economy of a country, the society is not skilled since
beginning (Muradova, 2020). In the society, skilled workforce should be developed with the help
of professional experts in order to achieve timely results in the functions of the country. The

general sense of the society always demands several techniques which provides skilled
workforce. In the educational sector, it is the utmost priority of the government of a country to
provide skilled workforce to the institutions. It is also one of the major responsibilities of
teachers to get effective personal training in order to prepare themselves according to the
situation of education of the society. In the general sense in near future, effective methods of
providing skilled training to the teachers should be introduced.
TASK 3
Analysis for teaching, learning and assessment approaches for use with 14-19 learners
Information and learning technology
In today’s world the information and technology is spreading in a major sense, it is
growing worldwide. The youth and children and youth are getting attracted towards internet and
computers to perform specific activities and tasks on day to day basis. It is also essential in
teaching to adopt methods which are suitable with respect to information and technology in order
to develop learning. Internet has content related to many topics in an accurate manner, it is also
available easily for the access. It can be proved as one of the major methods which can improve
the learning of students of 14-19 range.
Experiential learning (Kolb)
According to Kolb, this type of learning can be defined as the process whereby
knowledge is created through the transformation of experience. Knowledge results from the
combinations of grasping and transforming the experience in the practical environment. This is
the most effective way in leaning as it provides experience in learning which plays a major role
in development of learners in the 14-19 age range. It is compulsory for a teaching organisation to
implement experiential learning for the students in order to develop their mental strength. This is
universally adopted approach in many institutes and also by professional teachers in order to
develop learning on experience basis.
Workshop for practice of skills
In order to facilitate learning in the age range of 14-19 range, the teaching institute must
organise effective workshop for practice of skills. The workshop should provide effective and
flexible approach in increasing the skills of students in a precise manner (Onda, 2018).
Organisation of workshop should be planned and specific in order to facilitate learning in various

individuals. The workshop should be organised from time to time in order to facilitate students in
their working and development related to learning skills. The increasing skills of students will be
an effective step in the development of students which will also increase their practical needs.
The organisation of workshop should be performed by professional and trained teachers in order
to facilitate learning in the range of 14-19 learners.
Diagnostic to establish needs
In the learning related activities there are many problems which are faced by students.
There should be diagnostic of every problem in order to establish needs to students when they
learn something. The diagnostic should be short and must not take a long time; if it takes long
time then it will not be beneficial for many students. The diagnostic should be the utmost priority
of management of institution in order to establish an effective diagnostic procedure and develop
critical establishment needs.
Formative to encourage learning
It is important for the faculty in an institution to encourage learning of the students by
adopting various tools and techniques. The institutes must prepare them for developing learning
and creating a flexible learning environment for the students. In order to increase the
participation of students of range from 14 to 19 it is very much essential to develop and
encourage learning. The management must be attentive and adopt all the famous theories in
order to facilitate learning encouragement. In today’s academic life related world it is essential to
develop and formulate effective formatives for learning and enhancing academic life of students.
Self assessment to build confidence
Confidence play a major role in the development of academic life in the students as well
develops a personality of students. It is essential for a teacher to always provide a precise
technique to students in order to facilitate their self assessment. In every institution there should
be self assessment in order to build confidence of students which play a crucial role in the
development of students (Quezada, 2020) . The self assessment techniques should be given or
provided to the students by taking effective advice from experts in order to develop their
emotional intelligence.
Measure assessment
In the field of teaching there should be measurement of teaching related activities in a
precise manner. It is also essential to measure assessment of students on regular basis in order to

develop a critical approach in the learning. The measuring of assessment automatically increases
the performance of students in many different ways. There are various calculations which are
involved in assessment measurement and play a crucial role in the development of academic life
related activities in a precise manner.
Online testing
In the institutions, there should be online testing of students on regular basis in order to
increase their learning. The online testing is a beneficial approach for teachers as well as for the
students in order to increase the performance of individuals. From the traditional methods,
institutions must shift to adopt online testing methods in order to get more accurate results from
the teaching methods.
Project based to allow building of understanding
The teachers must give project work to students in order to increase their strength and
abilities related to academic life. It is essential for the students to get practical approach related
to a subject in order to implement knowledge in a precise manner. In the institutions, many major
institutes provides project work from time to time in order to effectively generate practical
learning in the mind of students related to a subject (Ritter, 2020). Project based learning will
create a beneficial approach in the academic life of students who are there in range of 14 to 19
age.
TASK 4
Plan, deliver and assess learning sessions for 14-19 learners
Own analysis of teaching learning and assessment approaches for use with 14-19 learners
It is important to perform self analysis in the field of education in order to effectively
teach the students in a precise manner. My analysis related to teaching skills is great and I
generally prefer communication skills in the field of teaching in an effective manner.
Communication skills of a person play an important role in the development of a teacher. A
teacher must have good communication skills in order to perfectly teach students and derive the
best outcome from the practices. In order to effectively teach in the institutes, I also analyse my
teaching skills as a whole. I actually consider National Curriculum as a best practice in the field
of teaching and suggest that the implementation of National curriculum should be there in a
precise manner in order to generally develop a comprehensive approach in the field of education.

Curriculum requirements
According to me, there is an effective need of maintain National curriculum in the field
of education in order to effectively provide education in the schools. National Curriculum of UK
is designed according to increase the practical skills in the students as well as increase their
overall knowledge in the field of learning. I recommend personally to all the major institutes of
England and Wales to follow National Curriculum in studies in order to increase the mental
strength and capability of a student in a precise manner. The overall development of the society
and country National Curriculum play a major role by proving global standard of education in
the society (Sert, 2021). There is a need in the major institutes to follow all the standards and
regulations which are mentioned in the National curriculum
Individual learner needs
According to the views of experts, every learner is different from other in many different
perspectives. There are various different needs of learners which vary from each other in a major
sense. The individual learner needs are necessary to be fulfilled in a precise manner in order to
train the person in an optimum manner. In the society many different person who come from
different educational fields require different scope of attention. In order to give a precise
education in the institutes, it is essential to fulfil the individual learner needs. By the fulfilment of
individual learner needs, it will be possible for the institute to majorly provide quality education
to the children. The individual learners are effectively engaged in the practice of learning with
essential and ethical way. It should be the utmost priority of management in order to satisfy all
the necessary needs of learners in a precise manner. The learners should engage in the learning
practice in a precise manner, in the working and teaching environment a teacher should generally
develop a critical approach in teaching. In the age range of 14-19, it is very much effective to
formulate a precise policy to satisfy each learner’s learning capability. A teacher should focus on
child with minimum ability in order to generally facilitate all the students in the process of
learning.

TASK 5
Self evaluation
Own practice (Planning, timing and engaging students)
According to experts in the field of education practice is the key to success, it is essential
for a teacher to regularly practice on subject. A teacher must focus on practice in order to
increase the teaching skills and to teach more effectively in the institutes. The planning should be
developed in a precise manner in order to effectively establish future related standards in the
field of education. I will practice regularly according to a set time table in order to develop my
skills in a precise manner. There is need of development in the student’s skills in order to
facilitate engagement of the students. The development related to students can be facilitated with
the help of a practical strategy and effective planning. The planning generally plays a crucial role
in the development of academic skills in the mind of students. This is the ethical responsibility of
an educational institute and a teacher to honestly plan for engaging the students in a precise
manner (Sinclair, 2017). In the environment, there are various element which effects on the
learning and developmental activities in a precise manner. There is a major need of formulating a
precise strategy in the field of education to effectively engage the students. In
Assessment methods (Online Testing, engaging and encouraging self assessment)]
According to my personal experience, I will personally perform encourage self
assessment and online testing and I will engage maximum students for practical learning. The
self assessment provides self knowledge and development of self related activities in a precise
manner. The online teaching is also considered as one of the major techniques in the field of
education. The assessment has a vital role in the development of academics in the student carrier
life. The engaging and encouragement and engagement of students require huge efforts from the
teacher’s side according to me. In order to effectively manage large number of students from a
single point of time, proper assessment with the help of online related activities should be done.
In the era of information and technology, it is essential for the institute to develop online testing
through the usage of internet (Tsangaridou, 2017). In the institutes it is also essential to
formulate an effective strategy to facilitate learning in a precise manner.

Improving own practice (Observation, awarding organisation events, research)
The improvement of self practice is essential in order to develop teaching skills of the
teachers in academic life. The improvement of teaching skills can be done with the help of
precise observation related to the teaching environment. In the academic life awarding
organisation events also play an important role by awarding the right person. Research is also
considered one of the major factors which generally develops observation in the mind of teachers
to adhere with organisational rules and policies. In my views, research is helpful in providing
effective benefits to a user in gaining right knowledge for the subject matter (Wood, 2020). In
the management of an institute and also for the teachers it is compulsory to follow precise
research techniques in order to effectively perform general day to day tasks.

CONCLUSION
From the above stated report it can be concluded that teaching is a scientific as well as
practical activity which facilitates learning in the individuals. The art of teaching is a
professional way to develop a competency edge in the students with the help of various
approaches. From the above stated report it can be concluded that national policies and legal
frameworks which are related to teaching helps in development of ethical practices in
teaching. It can be also concluded that self evaluation and assessment both are important in
teaching.
