TASK 1
INTRODUCTION
The current discussion is based upon the professionalism and dual professionalism in
education area. The reflective account is based on my concept of professional and dual
professionalism in education in comparisons with my peers. Dual professionals are those
teachers and trainers who have subject or vocational expertise as well as teaching or training in
education sector. The reflective study defines my role in the specialist area and comparison with
other peer in the college. The way in which professional values affects my practices in the
specialist area has been discussed in this study.
PROFESSIONAL VALUE INFLUENCE OWN PRACTICES AREA OF
SPECIALISM
Professionalism in education includes a variety of complex skills and interactions with
students, staff and parents. On the other hand, dual professionalism is where a teacher is an
expert in their subject as well as in their teaching practice. The concept of professionalism and
dual professionalisms is very important aspect in the education sector for teacher. Professionals
always acts with honesty and integrity to maintain high standards of ethics and professional
behaviours in order to provide learners support.(Calderhead, 2012). Dual professions are
teachers and trainers who are both vocational subject specialists and teaching experts, committed
to developing their experience in both aspects of their role to ensure the best outcomes for their
learners. My area of profession is business teacher level that is highly influenced by the
professional values. I have effectively performed dual professionalism at workplace at the time
of delivering an effective training and learning to students. A high quality teaching and learning
experience should include qualified and experience lectures, motivated students. According to
my profession, my professional value is to maintain high quality of teaching and learning,
sharing best practices, updating specialist knowledge and skills, targets for raising personal
standards, working to current awarding organisation requirements and engaging in CPD
opportunities in improving professional qualifications (Zepeda, 2012). I have considered all
these professional values in my profession through which I am able to perform in excellent
manner at workplace. These professional value helped me in delivering high quality of teaching
and learning to students. As compare to other peer whose profession is health and safety teacher,

English teacher and fashion designer. I have effectively used professional practices within
organisation. In my profession, there is a great impact of professional value such as meeting
government regulatory body policies and procedures. I have followed government regulation,
legislation and policies in order to deliver high quality of training to students. I have focused on
high level standards that has decided by government and followed all required policies and
procedures. I have performed dual professionalism in education and teaching sector. I have
followed all professional standards as compare to other peer colleagues. I have regularly
conducted training session for students as they can gain effective knowledge about subject and
engage with CPD opportunities. I have also engaged with high quality of teaching and learning at
workplace through which I can improve my professional qualification. By help of daily teaching
and training activities, my knowledge, skill, ability and profession has become more improved
and enhanced at workplace (Buxton, Burns and De Muth, 2012). This helped me in improving
my professionalism and dual professionalism. I have also considered professional value that is to
update specialist knowledge and skill that supported me in improving my dual professionalism. I
have engaged with continuous professional development practices and opportunities that has
been provided by organisation for employees and students. By help of this program and
opportunities I have successfully improved my personality and professionalism. This dual
professional has helped me in large manner by which I have successfully learnt lots of new
things, knowledge, skills etc. and effectively perform my roles and responsibilities by
considering all professional value's and ethics. During session in the college, I have analysed that

students.
TASK 3
INTRODUCTION
A stakeholder is anyone who has an interest in the institution and school, colleges and
universities and they are directly and indirectly influence by activities and functions. In the
United Kingdom, there is a great value of educational sector and it plays a very significant role in
the country. There are various kinds of stakeholders that directly and indirectly influence by this
area. Educational institution, government, parents, students and employers are major stakeholder
in the education sector (St‐Jean, 2012). There are very strict policies, regulation, and legislation

in the education system in the UK. As per the research it has been found that in last 12 years in
the educational sector, there are more government policies initiates as compare to other area
within the public sector. Each and every stakeholder in the educational institutes have great role
as they directly and indirectly influence by the learning environment. The current task defines
the roles of stakeholders and external bodies in education and training. In addition to this,
significance of working in partnership with employers and other stakeholder in education has
been also discussed.
The role of stakeholder and external bodies in education and training
In the education sector, stakeholders play a very significant role in context of conducting
activities and functions. They are those people who has an interest in the success of a school or
education system. Patients are those people directly or indirectly affected by the success of an
education systems. In order to deliver an effective training in education and promote its
significance, there are great roles of stakeholder and external bodies in the sector.
Being a business teacher in the university of London, I have various kinds of roles and
responsibilities to deliver effective training and education to students. My main aim and role is to
deliver an effective training and education to students, so as they can improve their knowledge
and ability regarding subject (Grohmann and Kauffeld, 2013). I have effectively contributed in
delivering impressive training to them. External bodies and stakeholder have effectively helped
me in delivering effective education and training to students in the school. Following are some
significant role of stakeholder and external bodies that have supported me in performing my
roles and responsibilities in the training-
 Stakeholders like government have developed several kinds of legislation, policies and
practices that have supported me in carrying out various activities and functions
regrading education and training in more appropriate manner. With help of government, I
have successfully organised effective training and education for student at workplace.
 In the school and college teacher have great role in improving training and development
for students. Teacher makes efforts in development within school as they conduct
training session, organise periodic course etc for students (Gibbs, 2012)

 The parents are also one of the significant stakeholder in the education sector who
provides financial support in delivering various facilities to learner and teachers. By
providing financial support, parents help school in growth and progress. Various kinds of
area can be improved and developed within school with help of parents’ support (Kinnie
and Swart, 2012).
 Stakeholders such as the employers also have great role in the education sector who have
responsibility to create effective academic environment within college and school
through which students can be motivated and encouraged for effective learning
(Professional practices, 2017).
Impact of stakeholder and external bodies in education and training
Following are some impact of stakeholders and external bodies in education and training-
 Being a business teacher in the college, I have analysed that external bodies have
supported me in large manner for delivering effective training and learning to students.
As governmental bodies have developed several kinds of law, regulation, legislation and
policies regarding training and education sector that has helped me in conducting training
session in more appropriate and effective manner. By developing effective policies,
legislation, regulation regarding education systems, government helped me in conducting
effective education program.
 Parents are also considered to be as important stakeholders in the education sector who
provides effective financial support to college and schools (Shek and et. al., 2013).
Effective involvement of parents in the school affairs and training helps in delivering
high quality educational experience to students. I have analysed that with help of parents’
support, I have gain opportunities to work in high quality academic environment at
workplace.
 Professional organisations play a very crucial role in the training and education. With
help of professional bodies, college and school can gain security and financial support.
With assistance of these bodies, quality and effectiveness of training and education can
easily improve and students can enhance their learning. By aid of these institutions,

teacher can also enhance their personality and professionalism because they have chance
to improve their career.
Importance of working in partnership with employers and other stakeholders in education and
training
In the education and training sector, it is very important to work in partnership with
employers and other stakeholders because they directly and indirectly affect the quality and
outcome of education for learner as well as teacher. With help of partnership, quality of learning
and education can enhance and improve. Individual can improve skill, knowledge and idea of
subject with help of working in partnership. This aspect also helps in reducing additional cost
and expenditures related to learning and education.
Being a business level teacher within college, I have assessed that there are several kinds
of benefits for teacher which can be gained by working in partnership with employer within
education sector such as it provides access to rich and varied learning environments (Pedler,
Burgoyne and Boydell, 2013). It contributes to teachers’ professional development and enhance
their job satisfaction. With help of partnership, teacher can develop wide range of social and
personal skills and provides opportunities to students to practice these abilities in a real work
context. I have also assessed that working in partnership with employers provides opportunities
to teacher for improving their personality and professionalism. It helps in developing a rich and
varied learning environment at workplace that is beneficial for both students and teachers. There
are various financial as well as professional opportunities that can be gained by teacher by
forming partnership or working with employers in the education sector.
CONCLUSION
From this entire report, it has been concluded that stakeholder and other institution plays
a very crucial role in the education and teaching sector. There are various kinds of stakeholders
within the education sector such as parents, students, government, educational organisation etc.
that are directly and indirectly affected by the training and education. It has been also concluded
that governmental bodies have developed several kinds of law, regulation, legislation and
policies for training and education sector that have supported teacher in improving quality and
effectiveness of training and education.
