PLANNING AND PREPARATION
Unit
1.1: Planning and preparing the learning programme
The
teacher/trainer needs first to identify the objectives of the learning
programme and the needs of the learners involved. The learning objectives
may be drawn from existing guidelines (eg from an international
or national curriculum) and/or may be developed by the teacher/trainer
(eg responding to particular local circumstances and initiatives).
The teacher/trainer should always take care to identify the needs,
aspirations and existing achievements of the learners as individuals
and as a group.
With
this information the teacher/trainer can construct a plan for the
learning programme, making decisions about content, method(s), timings
and resources. Such plans are often referred to as 'schemes of work'.
They enable teacher/trainers and learners to navigate a successful
and rewarding route through the demands of the learning programme.
| 1.1.1
Identify learners' needs |
| Consider
the range of methods available to identify reliably the learning
needs of learners as individuals and as a group. Select and
use appropriate methods to produce accurate and valid requirements |
| 1.1.2
Specify the learning objectives |
| Devise
relevant and measurable objectives in a list that is coherent
and concise |
| 1.1.3
Plan content, methods and resources |
| Select
the most appropriate content, methods and resources to satisfy
learning requirements and to ensure that learners will achieve
learning objectives. |
| 1.1.4
Complete the programme plan |
| Ensure
the plan is complete, coherent and concise and is accessible
to all concerned |
Unit
1.2: Planning and preparing learning sessions
Taking
into account the identified needs and capabilities of the learners,
the teacher/trainer needs to design appropriate learning activities
and make all other necessary preparations for single learning sessions
within the programme. The teacher/trainer completes concise working
plans for learning sessions, prepares materials as appropriate to
meet identified learning needs, and ensures that learning requirements
and objectives are met. Planning and preparation includes equipment
and learning facilities.
| 1.2.1
Specify the requirements for each learning session |
| Ensure
each planned session is coherent, and teacher/trainer and learners'
roles are specified. |
| 1.2.2
Complete session plans |
| Specify
aims and objectives, length of session and timings for each
activity, a clear breakdown of learning activities and assessment
methods, and required resources and materials |
| 1.2.3
Prepare learning materials |
| Specify
and prepare the learning materials for particular sessions,
to fulfil the learning objectives and to suit the needs of individual
learners and the group |
| 1.2.4
Prepare equipment and learning facilities |
| Specify
and prepare appropriate equipment and facilities for particular
sessions |
| 1.2.5
Plan for evaluation |
| Specify
how evaluation is going to be integrated into the teaching experience
to enable reflective practice before, during and after the session |
| 1.2.6
Prepare the learning environment |
| Specify
and prepare a learning environment for the programme and for
each session, which is appropriate, encourages learning and
is as free from disruption as possible |
