UNIT 2 TEACHING,
LEARNING & ASSESSMENT
IN EDUCATION & TRAINING

1

INTRODUCTION
Assessment is one of crucial components that aids to student to learn things effectively.
However, with use of it, student can feel motivated and able to understand the things effectual
(Chonjo, 2018). In addition to this, well designed and framed assessment motivates the learning to
deliver innovative work to all individuals. It is continuous process that that arises due to
interaction between learning and teaching.
Thus, present report will cover activities about Teaching, Learning & Assessment in Education
& Training in order to meet out the individual learner needs.
TASK 1
1.1
Being the teacher, the one of the main object is to encourage learners so that they can be
capable enough to enhance their learning capacity.
Thus, some aspects of role as a teacher are-
 To set clear and specific interaction with learners, professionals and other stakeholders.
 To take effective action that aids to enhance and promote better learning to individuals.
 Being aware of support mechanism available (Noddings, 2018).
 Identify and meet individual learning needs.
There are some aspects to responsibilities as a teacher are as-
 To provide diversity and equality.
 To get adhere with key governing, regulative necessitate and code of practices.
 To provide better endurance to the professional development.
1.2
The most crucial legislation that passed by parliament are as follows-
 Equality act 2010- It stated that employees must be treated equally by the age, gender,
group, religious belief and motherhood.
 Data protection act 1998- This law stated that it is essential to protect the information
about the individual. This aids to carry out all activities effectively.
 safeguarding vulnerable groups act 2006- The person needs to protect from
discrimination of vulnerable groups that are inclusive of criminal records (Gulikers,
Runhaar and Mulder, 2018).
2

 Health and safety work act 1974- In order to protect from it, the risk assessment must be
drawn that enables the activities that safety must be handled and all things can conducted
accordingly.
1.3
Teacher and trainers must be assure about the treatment for the learners is fairly and
equally. This cannot be judged on the basis of factor as age, role, religion and sexual orientation.
Thus, these are as-
professional boundaries- It can be achieved by following below things as are-
To meet out student expectation.
To know that what kind of advice can and cannot be given.
To be sure about the deadlines and time restraints.
Personal boundaries- This is crucial to give preferential treatment to one or group of learners. It
also aids to promote everyone equally. Teacher must nit give any personal information and get
personally involved with student.
TASK 2
3.5
It is important for the learners that they have been fee back due to their progression and
the areas that is need to be looked into it and also worked for each and every part. It is being
given in the whiteboard about their reference throughout the lesson (Lam, 2015). Feedback
helps in improving and developing the into more structured way and it also improves the need of
all learners. I feel that there will be having the sufficient opportunities to the learner and help
them in excel in their practice and also make them more efficient.
4.1
Inequality and the discrimination is being challenged to guarantee the fairness, decency and
respect among the students. To create the safe and relaxed environment at the same learners are
also motivated and focused also they are able to participate, can ask questions that determine
how they can learn and also allow them that to use the potential and achieve the goals. Students
must know how to behave with the teachers and understand in giving the respect to the teachers
as it is important aspect in the school. (Widiati and Hayati, 2017).
3

4.2
Equality defined as right of individual to have the chance, access and can take part in the
chosen trainings in regard of age, ability as well as condition that understand everyone and being
different but contain the same right. In the school it is important for all the students to wear the
school uniform that is same for all the students as it reflect the equality in the given scenario all
the male pupil have to wear the cap except the Sikh boys that they are having the turban as their
religion requires them to wear that turban, it is being implied so that they can avoid the
discrimination among the students and they all were treated equally. At the same there should not
be having any racial discrimination (Lam, 2015).
4.3
It is important for the school that in the premises there is having the safe and having the
inclusive learning environment they must be have the proper behaviour management procedure
and also make it clear to the students that they have to follow the procedure also the order of
consequences at the students must know how to present in the school and being able to redeem
themselves from the good behaviour. It is also equally important that the students have to do the
equal participation in establishing the classroom (Widiati and Hayati, 2017).
TASK 3
1.4
Learner can be termed out as identified at enrolment, initial assessment and additive
learning support that all needs to be get arranged with relevant department in organisation.
Additionally, teachers and trainers have duty of care towards the learner present training (James
and Casidy, 2018). Henceforth, the number of the services are as financial staff, careers
department and housing health and safety office etc. If the problems involved the training,
teachers or trainers being delivered and this is crucial to provide additional support to try to
resolved the problems.
2.1
The learners must be assess as individual and do the things that provide better learning to
the individuals. Learner who have physical impairments may be faster for differed culture ad
this can affect the concentration with English as second language. Henceforth, each teacher must
believe and understand that all their learner needs effective support. By identifying and meeting
4

individual learners aids to boost their morale and encourage them to perform their best.
Therefore, the learner that need more personalised instructions can also sit bit closer to teacher.
2.2
Diagnostic assessment is the kind of pre assessment that allows teacher to have
identification about individual strength, weakness, skills and knowledge prior to instruction. This
is one of the appropriate teaching and learning strategies that aids to achieve the personal core
aspect of individuals (Bruno, and Dell’Aversana, 2018). Diagnostic assessment adds to the
information that can be gathered from initial assessment. This is very effective tool as it support
to identify about the learner needs and can access to the appropriate support. However, it is
primarily used to diagnose issues of students and to provide effective guidelines in lesson and
curriculum planning.
2.3
As first assessment supply the basis to which student can give initiate to their studies. It is
crucial and imperative part of the process that put major focus on individual learning goals.
Henceforth, the questionnaires, act, one to one assessment unit work can assist ascertain stage in
which individual learning and goals can be set accordingly (Vickerman and Maher, 2018).
The diagnostic assessment are relate to the specific skill that it provide baseline to
facilitate the relevant knowledge, learning preferences that in the form of visual, aural and
read/write. Therefore, this all information must be include in student individual learning plan and
this can be addressed as necessary.
2.4
It is crucial to be aware about the student learning goals in manner to take advantage for
teacher to be aware of their students preferred styles. Learning goal works as backbone of the
lesson and that provides the reason for teaching and observing it. Hence, team needs to selecting
by subject, concept, theme and topic in the course of study.
By assessing the needs of learner of an each individual aids to create better and positive
workplace environment. Individual learning goals and strategies is very effective in terms to
improvised student learning.

TASK 4
3.1
Scheme of work has been devised in order to keep in the view of need of learners, the
delivery model and internal and external requirement to meet out the needs of learners (Cline,
2018 ). Therefore, this has been defined in the following manner as are-
Subject- Economics

Henceforth, it is concluded that to meet the need of learners the teaching plan needs to
adapted in manner that approximately 60 minutes of time has been allotted to cover these two
task. This scheme of work will be helpful to meet out the learning needs of learners.

TASK 5
3.2
The main aim is to modify learner to increase knowledge of current economic issues at
national level. This is very important that firstly I must have understand requirement of course of
study and the individual needs of all learners To address the need of students, it have been
provided that the variety of learning opportunities such as diversified resources rather than
focussing on textbooks.
By evaluating these areas, I will gain the better idea of learning needs of the individual
learners that provide effective support on evolving appropriate curriculum and teaching
strategies for them.
Additionally, the lesson plan meet out the curriculum requirements for group as well
individual learners. It engages all the learners in learning process during the first 35 minutes in
order to fulfils the learning needs of the individual learner. Therefore, it can be stated that
provision of notes, references, power point presentation, any special aids give this plan a
competition.
5.4
In my comprehensive instruction learning process, the main purpose is to make use of
each manageable effort that impart the maximal knowledge to learners. Additionally, I have
adopted the learning approach as flexibility and adaptability in teacher driving technique that
aids to keep my voice clear and audible. I have also started to write down on the board so that
learner can also read and see the things effectively. In order to make my session interactive, I
have also used of recaps of lecture, audio and visual presentation. To make the more attractive
session, I have also used projectors, power point presentation that assist my learner in order to
get better understanding of the concepts.
Therefore, I have also started to conduct taste practices about evaluating the learning of
an individual. It helps the learner group in order to build harmony and group action among the
group. I have also assigned them small level projects and plan that are expected to make critical
decision related to economy. Therefore, I have analysed that it has helped me in order to gain
more assurance and practical knowledge of subjects.
7

5.5
To handle the diverse group of scholar is a huge duty on part of me. It is crucial to
maintain the harmony and equality among the learners. In order to make it effective, I have
interacted with the student from multicultural backgrounds. Thus, it is also helped me in order to
give knowledge about the learning levels and scenarios that has helped me in dividing the class
decorum. Therefore, by framing better planning strategies aids to bring equality among the
learner needs.
In order to understand them, I have started exploring different religion, cultures and good and
bad habits. This is one of the effective method as it help me in polishing my own teaching
requirements.
5.6
At time of designing for my learners I must take initiatives that can help to design method
of the assessment that helps to meet out the needs of the individual learners. Thus, five key areas
for adaptabilities to meet individual learner needs are as-
Key area Individual learner needs Assessment adaptabilities
More time Situation get complex at time
when learner is suffering from
medical conditions such as
dyspraxia and this all get
comes up with written and
verbal answer.
Outside of exam, learner must
have helped by allowing them
some extra time to get
complete coursework.
Scribe Learner suffering with
physical disabilities that help
them to get their thought into
proper.
Individual assistance must be
provided outside of an exam
hall so it may not distract the
other candidates.
Written vs verbal Students must find out writing
or exam tress full who do not
prefer to answer the question-
verbally.
I give such learners the
opportunity of oral assessment
method.
Exam vs coursework Some type of learners that may
struggle in examination and
the they could not reflect the
hard work they have made in
the year of course.
I have allowed to such students
to do coursework as the
method of assessment.

5.7
Communication plays the effective role in order to make better interaction within the
learner and teachers. It aids to make better relationship with learner by focussing over the need
and requirements. By making attractive communication facilities the learners can perform their
activities in more effective and efficient manner. By making communication with the other
learning professionals the learning methods and experience of them can be identified. This aids
to make better learning environment.
6.3
I have performed my all possible assessment as per the accordance with the inclusive
teaching technique by demonstrating the adaptabilities and flexibility to assist individual to get
them assessed. Special assessment arrangements adaptable to individual learner with
impairments to enable them to demonstrate their learning.
At the time of demonstrating the flexibility I have offered to the individual learners with
alternate assessments allows learners to demonstrate knowledge and skills so that their learning
skills can be Improvised (Lam, 2018).
6.4
The use of an feedback and question are crucial to the assessment process. Therefore, it
has significant effect on the student learning and that has been defined the most powerful single
moderator that enhances the achievement. Henceforth, it provide effective guidelines to students
to take steps to improve, motive and act as per the assessment. Assessment is the key component
of learning as it provide significant helps to student in learning process.
6.5
Thus, the following things are needed to be recorded as are-
External verification-
 Role and responsibilities of assessor
 To develop plan for assessing competence.
 Provide feedback and support to candidates on assessment decision.
 To provide effective contribution in recording assessment activities.
Internal verification-
 To define the role and responsibilities of internal verifier.
9

 To provide better support to assessors.
 To have better source of support.
 To monitor the quality of assessor performance.
6.6
At department of economies I have developed good level of communicating with other
professionals both with my juniors and seniors. I have prepared my lessons to keep discussing
important topics relate to have enhancement in expertise of teaching with my colleagues.
To make my skills more effective I have also attend training and advanced ideas of
learners to meet out the requirements of diverse learners. With the help of sharing effective each
other teaching experience assists us to assessing the need of learners.
7.1
I have planned the comprehensive acquisition plan with addition of minimal core
elements. In the economies subjects I have used the numeracy, language and ICT into one proper
lesson. During written assignment I gave my student theoretical and numerical question. This is
very crucial to squeeze in minimum core wherever possible in lessons and lessons planning. To
begin with the initial teacher training I have found it quite typical to ascertain where to fit these
individuals in minimum core elements.
7.2
I have applied minimal set of elements in lesson plan by integrate acquisition skills,
language skills, communication technology ability and numeracy skills. Therefore, presentation
aids individuals to have improvement within the language skills such as listening and speaking
(Explain the Boundaries Between the Teaching Role Essay, 2017). Therefore, it has been
determined that assessment techniques as analysis of the case study and term paper writing aids
to raise the reading and writing skills of the individuals. Henceforth, the teaching plan will be
inclusive of minimal set elements such as literacy, language, information and communicating
skills.
TASK 6
3.3
Planning is the term that defined as how the course of action must be taken in order to
fulfil the need of learners. It aids to shows that highly effective planning aids to conduct whole
10

practices in much effective and appropriate manner. Therefore, better planning helps to mitigate
the risk to the learners.
3.4
It will be framed on the basis of following methods as are-
 Setting up learning plan template
 Adding competencies to learning plan template
 Assigning learning plan to users
 To remove learners and learning plans.
 To view learning plans
 To provide better evidence of prior learnings.
5.6
The better planning about the need of learner address the each difficulties of the learner.
Therefore, this helps to fulfil the basic need of learner. Henceforth, it can be stated out that better
planning aids to conduct the whole practices effectively.
TASK 7
6.1
The main aim is to improve the student learning. Therefore, teaching responds to the
information it provides to the students. However, it can be stated that assessment for learning can
be defined as an ongoing process that arises out of the interaction between teaching and learning
process. Therefore, the common types of assessment are defined as-
 Diagnostic
 Formative
 Benchmark
 summative
6.2
Thus, its defined in the following manner are as-
Diagnostic testing- It is the testing that used to diagnose the type of testing schools. This also
aids to serve distinct purpose and this all work out together to make up balanced assessment
program.
Formative assessment- It is inclusive of strategies that are as observation, having student to read
out and asking student question within the classroom.
11

Benchmark- This helps to provide predictor of how students needs to performed on the end year
of summative test.
Summative assessment- It is the checkpoint that has to be conducted in the end of year to assess
how much content students learned overall.
TASK 8
5.2
Communication plays the effective role in order to enhance the learning of the individual
in better mode. It is crucial to have internal and external communication method that aids to
provide better learning to the individuals (Explain the Boundaries Between the Teaching Role Essay,
2017).
Forms of communication are as-
Verbal communication- It is defined as the use of auditory language to exchange information
with the other public.
Non verbal communication- This is between the people and inclusive of strategies as gestures,
facial expression, body movement and touch etc.
TASK 9
5.1
Inclusive learning approaches is very attractive as it aids to assess the individual needs,
learning preferences and goal. Therefore teaching approaches supports to address the need of
students with the variety of backgrounds, learning modalities and abilities. This is very attractive
technique as it promote the better learning to students of diverse backgrounds that helps to create
better learning environment.
5.3
Teaching resource are classified as to have board, chalk, av-aids, software, instruction
and library materials. Therefore, learning materials are significant as it aids to enhance the
student achievement by supporting the student learning. Therefore, the effective learning
resource helps to meet out the need of the learners. Henceforth, it can be stated that learning and
teaching resources provides the better source of learning experience for students.
8.1
I have applied number of element in my classroom to teach out my lesson are as literacy
skills, language skills and numeracy skill and communication technology. On the other hand
12

presentation helps to have better understanding about the term and this aids to improve the
practical skill of an individual. Therefore, I have also used assessment techniques such are as
case study analysis and term paper work. This is the learning tactics that helps to the student in
order to improve the literacy skills.
8.2
The inclusive learning strategies aids to address the need of learning with the variety of
background. Henceforth, there are number of the ways that helps to improve own practice in
inclusive teaching and learning. This is defined in following manner are as-
 By incorporating the diversity learning styles, abilities into the overall curriculum.
 To work as to modify the course of materials, activities, assignment and exams.
 To create a safe learning learning environment by have the use of utilising the ground
tools.
 By being clear about the things that how learners will work as to evaluate and graded
with the justification.
 In this, it is crucial to take time to access classroom climate with the help of obtaining
mid semester from learners.
CONCLUSION
From the above report it have been summarized that teacher and learner must understand
the use of assessment. As it assists to students in focusing on the ability to evaluate themselves
and to make better judgements. Therefore, the present report has covered the topic as
significance of Teaching, Learning & Assessment in Education & Training to meet out the needs
of the learners.
