Description
Many people confuse teaching with lecturing. They assume that if they have good knowledge and understand and that they transmit this to a class (audience) of people that they are teaching. However this is not the case. We can never establish how much students are learning until we put this to the test and measure this. As a teacher in further education and someone who works for a global company observing teaching and learning I can pass on a wealth of knowledge about what Ofsted consider to be outstanding teaching and I offer all of this to you in this course. Although I have marketed this course as a Level 3 in Teaching I am certain that there are many aspects of it that are level 4 content.
The modules of this course are the mainstay of excellent teaching that would make any observer or inspector proud to have observed. As a result of doing this course you will have a very clear understanding of what motivates students to take courses to improve themselves and what their expectations are when they attend a one day course or a series of lessons.
When lesson planning you will learn how to help your students build on their learning so that their knowledge and understanding broadens and deepens while they are learning new skills or knowledge thereby strengthening their motivation to learn.
You will develop both your confidence and ability to prepare learning objectives that meet the needs of your learners, providing learning opportunities that inspire them and switch them on to a life time of learning.
Your presence in the classroom will be inspiring, enthusiastic, confident and motivating and leave your learners asking for more.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who wants to learn how to teach or how to improve their teaching or those that want to embark on a life in education.
- The course is for those just starting out in teaching, or those who just want to be better teachers
Instructor
I have worked in the world of education for almost 30 years both as a teacher of students from the age of 14 upwards to my current position which is one of teaching others how to teach. I currently run a course that has over 20 students enrolled and I am about to start a new course in October 2020. As well as teaching students how to become outstanding teachers I also carry out observations of teaching in excess of 200 times per year, giving feedback that enables teachers to consistently improve their performance. My qualifications are a Certificate in Education, a level 4 qualification in Learning and Development, a Level 5 Qualification in one to one executive coaching, and am one of the few people in the UK who have a certified qualification in Observing Teaching and Learning.
