Introduction

It is my aim in this task to convey the importance of effective management, how the embedding of functional skills is carried out within my specialist subjects, why record keeping is important and the range of strategies that I use for my subject area.

Effective Management of Learners

Effective management of learners can be achieved by initially setting boundaries in order for a foundation of respect to be built. Mutually agreed arrangements where others views and needs are appreciated creates a safe and respectful learning environment where all participants benefit. Initiating a group discussion allows the learners to take ownership of their expectations.

If disruptive behavior does occur within the group a reminder of the ground rules, to the group as a whole should be reinforced.

“Whatever the disruption maybe, you need to handle this professionally to minimize any effect it may have on your teaching and the groups learning. Don't just ignore the behavior, address it immediately. However with experience you will realize that some things can be ignored providing this does not affect the safety of your learners”

As part of the NVQ's and Apprenticeships that we deliver we also establish this by prior to the candidate commencing their Apprenticeship we issue a learning agreement that is signed by the learner, the employer and us as the provider. This is done so that the candidate feels that they are working as part of a team. (Adler 2009)

Apprentices section of the Training Agreement is as follows:

Apprentice's Responsibilities

At all times to behave in a safe and responsible manner and in accordance with the requirements of Health and Safety legislation relating to the individual's responsibilities and to promote and act in the Employer's best interests.

If however the learner is not working in accordance with the agreement either due to poor attendance or tasks not being completed on a regular basis a cause for concern is raised. We then need to establish whether this is due to lack of commitment or the lack of understanding of what had been set. At this point as an assessor we should be giving extra support to our learners where required. (Adler 2000)

Functional Skills

Functional skills are based on existing qualifications and completion of an initial assessment of what level the candidate is working towards. There are a number of ways that functional skills can be embedded into the teaching process. For the qualifications that I deal with I try to find a relevant topic that relates to the learners job role to include ...
