Entry 22.10.08 - Reflection

Using a more practical approach to the session

Equality + Diversity Discussion

Equality and Diversity Task [1]

You have a learner on your course who is both disruptive and demanding on your attention. Whilst trying to answer all of their questions the rest of the class are losing concentration.

Discuss some strategies you have used/ or could use?

Q: Whose rights are paramount here? The individual or the group as a whole?

A: - Make it clear you will answer any questions at the end of the session. 

     - Tell then they need to calm down in a sensible manner.

     - Strike method, where if the disruptions continue they will be asked to leave, as a last case           resort.

     - Frequent question breaks.

     - Encourage other people in the group to ask questions. "Anyone else please?"

     

You need to respect the individual, but need to progress the group. Tackle the individual first in order to move the group forwards.

Innovative ways to find Candidates abilities

Research on how to find out what level you pupils are learning at, instead of handing out forms.

some ideas are:

- Quiz

- Games (of relevance to subject?)

- Self portrait (it is was an art course)

- Story boarding (film and animation course)

- Memory games (sign language)

- Rhythm games (music course)
