SECTION 1
Introduction
This sector will focus upon evaluating duties and roles a coach, mentor or teachers plays a
crucial role in guiding individual person . This sector will further highlight difference between roles of
coach, mentor and teacher and their effectiveness in meeting learning need of individual students in
an effective manner (Yaacob, 2018).
Responsibilities of a coach, mentor and teacher
Coach, mentor and teacher plays a vital and important role for fulfilling needs of individual
students with different needs. Responsibilities of mentor in relation to working within individual
students have been explained below:
Responsibilities of Coach: One of the main responsibilities of a coach is to plan and organize different
range of activities and program that can help individual learners in fulfilling their needs and
requirements. They are responsible for encouraging individual learners for overcoming all kinds of
challenges faced by them and if required they are also responsible for referring individuals to a
specialist in order to fulfil their needs and requirements (Wetzel, Hoffman and Maloch, 2017). For
example: Cassie is a single mother of 3 children who has recently lost her mother and is a recovering
alcoholic. Due to this she is facing difficulty in attending all the sessions on time. Not only this she is
also dyslexic due to which she is facing difficulty in learning as well. She needs a proper coach who
can provide her coaching and develop a plan for her so that she can attend all her sessions and learn
in an adequate manner.
Responsibilities of Mentor: First and the foremost responsibility of a mentor is to help other learners
in learning, using their skills for achieving success. A mentor helps an individual by providing them
with guidance so that they can use their current skills and knowledge in achieving success of
achieving their long- term goals in an effective manner. For example: Lissa is already good
academically. She simply needs a mentor who can provide guidance to her for understanding ways
in which she can use her skills and knowledge in setting up her own business.
Responsibilities of teachers: Main primary responsibility of a teacher is to plan are teaching lesson
for enhancing overall knowledge of students. They are also responsible for developing a safe
learning environment in order to complete needs of a student. For example: Aran is an academically
gifted student but has indulged himself in drugs and have a toxic relationship with his parents. He
needs a proper teacher who can teach him negative and drastic effects of drugs and ways in which
getting involved in drugs can ruin his future.
Differences between the coaching, mentoring and teaching roles
There is a difference between coach, mentor and teacher role while working with individual
students as all are having different responsibilities and they have to manage all activities. Individual
students need proper focus and attention so that they can enhance their knowledge. Mentor is a
person who guides his or her mentee and help them in achieving goals and objectives (Reano,
2020). It is important to focus on how to accomplish targets and it will help students in making
better strategies for future. Mentor guides mentee in improving skills and help in learning new

things which will be beneficial for them in achieving targets. Coaches are helping students in
providing them guidance and shows them correct way so that they can focus on their goals. A coach
teaches students how to develop skills and perform better than others. Every individual should have
some qualities which are unique and help them in identifying those skills. Generally, coaches help in
guiding students and focus on achieving targets by making plans. It is important to identify skills and
make strategies according to that to improve skills. It is the responsibility of coach to help their
student in achieving goals and identifying strengths so that it will be easy in focusing on targets
(Porras and et.al., 2018).
Teacher plays an important role while working with individual student because teachers are like
parents and they show right path to students. Some children do not understand in groups so, they
teachers taught them individually. It helps a student in learning things better and enhance their
knowledge. A teacher knows well about a student because they are spending more time with
children and they teach new things, values and important topics which is necessary. All students are
different from each other but teacher focuses on all students. Teacher helps in guiding students and
showing them correct way by which they can develop skills and learn new topics (Næsheim-
Bjørkvik, Helgevold and Østrem, 2019).
Effectiveness of teaching in learning needs
Coach helps in meeting individual learning needs because they are knowing what a student want and
understand every student. They help them in enhancing knowledge and develop skills according to
capability. It is not easy for students to make plans and achieve goals, they need help of someone
who will guide them and show them way to reach to target. It is essential that coach, mentor or
teacher should have proper knowledge and have the ability to handle student. They should try to
solve problem of students and suggest them better ways which can be used for increasing their
knowledge and them in developing skills. A coach, mentor and teacher help in improving individual
performance as they identify strengths and weakness of a student and they know how to teach him
or her so that they can learn things. This will be beneficial for them in getting good jobs in future
(Lovell, 2018). Coaching focus on achieving goals and shows them way by which targets can be
achieved.
Mentoring helps in teaching student and develop skills which will help them in future growth. It will
help in making plans or strategies so that students can learn new topics and it will help in
understanding what a student want. Teacher, mentor or coach guides student to increase their
knowledge and try to learn things in an easy way. They should evaluate performance of students
after plans are implemented and it will help in achieving targets easily. If teacher will check work
given to students, then only, they will be able to identify weak points and make changes in plans so
that they can learn properly. Teaching roles help in meeting individual learning needs. When a
student get mentor or teacher then they learn topics easily because teacher is having the skills to
explain topics.

SECTION 2
Introduction
This section will focus upon identifying strategies that can be used for fulfilling needs of the
individual learners. This section will further review resources which can be used for multiagency
approach, factors that influence the referral process and teaching methods.
Justification of selection of strategies
When a teacher, mentor or coach are teaching student then some strategies are being used
so that they can identify needs of learners and plan will made accordingly. There are some strategies
which can be used by teachers to determine needs of students and they should help them in
learning things and develop skills which are essential for future growth of an individual person. Some
ways to meet needs of learners are, create a learning goal for students so that they can focus on
that, it will help them in accomplishing targets and get good jobs in future (Lin and Reddy, 2019).
Another way is to give students different ways to learn content like, images or explain them in
presentation form. It is easy for them to learn and understand topic. Different activities should be
arranged by mentor, teacher or coach so that students can enjoy and learn things. When topics are
explained with the help of any game or activity then it becomes simple to learn and understand.
A variety of activity must be arranged by teachers to meet needs of individual student and this will
be beneficial for all. Different project option should be used by mentor to attract students and help
them in learning things easily like, drawing, things must be presented in unique way such as,
paintings can be made. Students are having different choices and ways must be effective so that
goals can be achieved. Flexible groups must be made and give assignments to learners, to check that
whether they are learning things or not. If assignments will be given to students in groups, then it
will help teacher in identifying that what are weak points which should be focused so that better
plans can be made to improve performance of students.
Resources required for an effective multiagency approach
Multiagency approach helps in preventing from problems and provide effective way of supporting
children. Multiagency approach helps in solving issues of children and guide them for achieving goals
and objectives. It is the responsibility of teachers to teach students properly and clear all the doubts.
Some principles of multiagency approach are, builds positive relationship between professionals and
individual person. Teachers are having responsibility to solve problems of students and give them
proper guidance so that they can focus on accomplishing targets. Effective multiagency approach is
required so that students can understand things easily and there will be no problem in future. It is
essential to focus on needs of learners and help them in achieving targets. This approach helps an
individual person in improving skills and enhance knowledge by learning new things (Langdon and
et.al., 2019).
There are some factors which are required to be taken when providing support to learners so that
they can understand things in better way. These are some factors which are considered while
working with learners. This will help in focusing on needs of students and better services can be
provided to them. When working with learner, it is important to identify factors which will affect
learning process. Personality of teacher should be good and have knowledge so that they can
understand needs of learner. It will help in explaining things easily and students can improve their

skills and enhance knowledge by learning new things. It is important to focus on learning needs of
students and ensure that they are learning topics. It is important to identify and determine factors
which will help in providing better services to customers (Kowalski, 2019).
Factors that influence the referral process
Referral process is applied to solve issues or problems and try to find out best solution so
that work can be completed on time. There are some factors which can influence referral process
such as, belief system of teacher, knowledge of individual differences, size of the class, length of
time, perception of confidence, availability of resources, confusion regarding guidelines. It is
important to focus on factors so that learners can improve their skills and enhance knowledge. This
will help in accomplishing goals and objectives. There are factors that influence an individual
learning like, feedback, stress and emotions. These are some factors which will help in identifying
needs of students and explain them topics in such a way so that they can understand it. These
factors influence referral process and help in providing best services to learners and help them in
guiding. Individual learner should focus on accomplishing goals and objectives, work hard and clear
all doubts. These will influence referral process and help in solving issues or problems and enhance
knowledge of learners (Hoffman and et.al., 2019). They take help from teacher or mentor to
improve skills and develop so that they can get better opportunities in future.
Review Process
It is important for students to develop qualities and enhance knowledge which will be beneficial in
finding jobs. A student needs a coach, mentor or teacher who can help them in learning thigs easily.
It is important that students should have knowledge in their field and develop skills so that they can
work properly in an organisation. In this digital world, competition is increasing so people should
have skills or qualities which are required and increase knowledge (Carr, Holmes and Flynn, 2017).
There is process of one-to-one mentoring which can be applied are, understand what your mentee is
looking for from you, help your mentee to shape their gaols and provide them all facilities so that
they can learn skills and enhance their knowledge. Third step is to keep your mentee accountable
and provide feedback and give them suggestions which will be beneficial for them in achieving goals.
It is the responsibility of mentor, coach or teacher to help their mentee in learning topics and they
can improve or develop skills which is needed at an organisation. Teacher, mentor or coach can help
student in learning things easily and when there is one to one teaching then it is more effective and
helps an individual person in understanding things in a better way.
If a student will take help from mento or coach then they can get extra knowledge and it will be
beneficial for them in getting good opportunities in future. A mentor is having personal and
professional experience which will help students in achieving their goals and targets which are set. A
mentor can help in improving communication skill, build leadership skill. It will also help student in
building personal and professional network and they will learn new things. A mentor can understand
students’ emotion and they can solve all the issues (Bowman, 2018).
