Delivering Lifelong Learning

Delivering womb-to-tomb Learning Enhancing encyclopedism through using engine room Thinking rear to when I delivered in break foc engagementd training sessions I fix that technology was a huge aid to the nurture for the students. I would train them web quests and discover them research topics around the subject of day, One in particular that I remember was asking them to look at the valet right act I asked them to reckon in pairs and put unneurotic somewhat information rough what the act was and why it was so historic and how it linked into working(a) in Health and social c atomic number 18.I gave them a sight amount of time to do this then asked that they nominated a some unmatched to feedback to the assembly about what they had learnt. Looking back now I hold in that by encouraging apprentices to use this technology this was prevailing the differentiation come to the group it asserted all the disciples to gain knowledge and understanding point the ones who were non as confident in speaking up as others.I guess the other main way I support learners to use technology is to encourage them to use the online etrack site to check in that respect get on once I get a learner engaged with this I find that they look forward to checking their progress after each piffle its a good tool for motivation. And a nonher way would be by getting the learners to access and use the BKSB to support there learnedness with the maths and English its an gauzy online tool that allow clear them to up skill in the specific areas emergencyed.It usher out however, as mentioned forrader highlight too many areas for ontogeny and perhaps scare the learner completely so this aid has negatives and positives. Technology cigarette in addition support learners when writing written assignments they can use Microsoft word and practice work over on email for electronic submission or send it to etrack a secure site to make additional progress in amid assessmen ts with their assessor. Learners can as well as use net for research to support their learning. I also use offline exams that once uploaded can snap off instantaneous results, this is good as the learner knows.I turn in put together a case study of some of the various technology that can be utilise to support learners and demand looked at what the positives and negatives of them are.

Expectations of the minimum core in relation to delivering lifelong learning first off I would alike to explain the immenseness of good communication it is positive to ensure that information is given and received. It is the key to motivation, managing behaviour and promoting good working relationships. It includes verbal non verbal and written and can include various technology email/webinar and forums. I must ensure that I have excellent communication techniques to be able to maintain learners caution and to show professionalism when giving feedback. I need to be aware of my heart and facial expressions knowing when to chan ge my tone to say show bounty and understanding r to take control of a disruptive group.I need to ensure that if I use jargon that the learner is supported in understanding what that is? ETRACK what is etrack a demonstration needs to be given so that the learner understands. Speaking/ Listening/Reading/Writing are the quadruplet skills I must demonstrate when supporting learners in Literacy, language and ICT I have looked at Tuckmans theory of group work in relation to how people in groups communicate. He came up with a development model that shows the represents of development of how groups will communicate. Forming In the first stages of aggroup building, the forming of the police squad takes place. The individuals behavior is driven by a desire to be recognised by the others, and avoid controversy or conflict.Serious issues and feelings are avoided, and people concentre on being busy with routines, such as police squad organization, who does what, when to meet, and so on individuals are also gathering information and impressions about each other, and about the scope of the task and how to approach it. This is a comfortable stage to be in, but the avoidance of conflict and threat means that not such(prenominal) actually gets done. Storming Every group will next enter the storming stage in which different ideas compete for consideration. The team addresses issues such as what problems they are really supposed to solve, how they will map independently and together and what leaders model they will accept.Team members open up to each other and reside each others ideas and perspectives. In some cases storming can be resolved quickly. In others, the team never leaves this stage. The maturity of some team members usually determines whether the team will ever move out of this stage. Some team members will focus on minutiae to evade real issues. Norming The team manages to have one goal and come to a mutual plan for the team at this stage. Some may have t o give up their own ideas and fit out with others in order to make the team function. In this stage, all team members take the responsibility and have the ambition to work for the success of the teams goals. playing It is possible for some teams to reach the performing stage.These high-performing teams are able to function as a unit as they find ways to get the job done smoothly and effectively without inappropriate conflict or the need for external supervision. By this time, they are motivated and knowledgeable. The team members are now competent, autonomous and able to handle the decision-making process without supervision. Dissent is expect and allowed as long as it is channeled through means acceptable to the team. 1. The fiver Stages of Project Team Development, Gina Abudi Retrieved May 18th 2010 Its not very often I deliver to groups but this research has helped me to look at the importance of it and also the importance of communication not only from myself but between l earners.I often teach learners individually however they tends to be a group within one setting and they will often work together to learn and gain knowledge for the award. So its important that I have an understanding the theory and psychological dynamics of group work. rating of own practice in delivering inclusive learning and teaching I feel that I do adapt my teaching to try to instance each individual need. I have some learners for example who need much more support with their operating(a) skills than others and in these cases I have arranged extra visits with and given one to one support. I do feel that since delivering Functional skills my practice has improved.At the start I found it tough to know where to start with supporting learners and with experience I have gained arrogance and knowledge of the support materials available. I have also recently obtained some really helpful handouts to support learners with understanding the requirements of literacy. They are like char cards and are very easy to understand. Looking back I can think of learners that this resource will have been very helpful. And I wish now that I had sourced them sooner. I am also not entirely confident in speaking in group situations and I know that the only way to prepare for this is to be fully lively and to ensure that I have researched a subject fully.I have passed my functional skill level 2 in literacy and Math but would like to go on to complete the level 3 as I feel this will enhance my knowledge and confidence and thus can only benefit my learners. I intend to complete a diagnostic on the BKSB to identify what areas I need to improve on. I also need to work on some of my ICT skills in particular spreadsheets as I work in health and social care its not to often I have deliver ICT so I feel I have not focused on this area as much as I should have. I In particular I know I need to work on spreadsheets and I have been working through some workbooks on the BKSB to help with this. I would hate to ever be in a situation where a learner wanted support in this area and I was unable to give it.
