learning and teaching has been interlinked with each other. Effective methods of teaching leads
to provide the opportunities to learners in order to increase their efficiency in learning. The
inclusive method of teaching helps in the creation of inclusive learning environment (Finkelstein,
Sharma and Furlonger, 2021). This report will illustrate the effective method of teaching,
learning and assessment in the education and training that enables the learner to become more
efficient in their learning process.
Furthermore, the report will describe the own roles & responsibilities in relation to the
education & training. Along with this, the mandatory legislations and code of practice that are
required to perform inclusive teaching will be highlighted in the report. The mandatory steps that
are required to plan the assessment as per the requirement of learners so, the individual needs of
learner can meet will be shown in the report.
MAIN BODY
TASK 1
1.1 Analysing the own roles & responsibilities in education and training
In order to ensure the effective teaching towards the learners it is mandatory that, the
guider must know about the roles and responsibilities in education and training. So, the roles and
responsibilities can be performed by the teachers and the needs of the learners can be fulfilled. It
includes the consistent methods of teaching towards the learners such as, Analysing the needs of
the students, Delivering of the instruction and then, Evaluating the final outcomes. The process
does not stop here, it again starts within Again determining the needs of learners. Thus, it is like
a Teaching cycle that has to be performed in continuous manner (Viere and et.al., 2021).
1.2 Key aspect of legislation, regulatory requirement and codes of practice related to role and
responsibility
As a teacher and tutor it is important to consider appropriate regulatory requirements such as:

Health and safety act 1974: As per this act, it is important for teachers and tutors to
make learners feel safe and secure (Hale and Booth, 2019). By providing them safe learning
environment, they can increase their learning and knowledge as well.
Equality act 2010: It is an important legislation as it makes learners feel valued. When
tutors provide equal opportunities to learners to share their feelings then it makes them feel
valued. When tutors treat them in a fair manner then it increases learners’ engagement.
Data protection act 2003: There are number of students who have special needs and
everyone wants their tutors to protect their personal information safe. It is important for tutors to

Departments/professional Responsibility
Marketing This department plays a vital role and

marketing manager is responsible to make sure
that people have proper knowledge about their
university.
Administration Top manager is responsible to make sure that
Teachers are on the right track (Zhou and et.al.,
2018).
External agencies
Specialist support Tutors or teachers need to take specialised
support from appropriate agencies and
accordingly develop lesson planning.
Government agencies By taking help of government agencies, tutors
can make resources available and can increase
knowledge.
2.2 Role and use of initial and diagnostic assessment in agreeing individual learning goals
Initial assessment is a procedure of identification of individuals’ learning and needs.
In regard to diagnostic assessment, it can be said that it is a form of pre assessment where
teachers evaluate strengths and weaknesses of learners. Some forms of IA and DA and ways of
using them include:
Application forms: It is an objective analysis of structural quality of application.
Short quiz: By using this type of assessment, tutors can know understanding level of
learners. Tutors can work on current knowledge of learners (Zhang and et.al., 2018).
Multiple choice: Multiple choice questions also help out tutors in knowing
understanding and knowledge of learners of each topic. It can also make them able in
understanding knowledge gap.
Identifying prior achievement: All these types of assessment makes tutors able in
