Module Indicative Content
This module builds on the knowledge and skills developed in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS) by considering further, inclusive teaching and learning strategies, the importance of negotiating appropriate learning goals and ways of developing reflective practice. You will consider a range of initial assessment methods for example interviews, icebreakers, diagnostic assessment, profiles and explore ways of negotiating individual goals with learners. You will develop your skills in planning, delivering and evaluating inclusive teaching and learning programmes using feedback from learners and others to inform curriculum development. You will analyse how new and emerging technologies can enhance the learning experience. You will investigate communication methods and skills (for example verbal, written and non-verbal communication and transactional analysis) and their importance in teaching and learning. You will further develop their ability to reflect in order to inform and improve your personal and professional practice.

Module Learning Strategies
During this module you will participate in a range of teaching and learning strategies, for example: Discussions, individual and group tasks, presentations, observation of experienced practitioners; workshop activities, reading and research, blended learning, guest speakers, demonstration of own practice, reflection and self assessment.
