A Good Practitioner/Teacher:

Assessment of Learning Needs of the Pupil:

Starting with the initial assessment the teacher would go about this by conducting interviews with new applicants and assessing their subject knowledge and also discover their learning style to plan their learning journey. Practitioner then decides his or her aims and records these on the students ILP (Individual learning plan). It is cited that you can start at any point within the teaching cycle for which is agreed by the teacher with as in the case of taking over a class. In order to assess students' needs it is important to be able to identify what would be the possible existing learning needs in the first place, in order to understand what to look for. (Sharlene, Leanne, 2009, 136-160)Application forms, enrolment forms, pre-course meetings and pre-course questionnaires will be used while recruiting the learners.

These pre-course communication provide the teacher an opportunity to learners in order to approach their teachers if they have any problem.

These forms give an idea of how important it is to be open to your teacher if you have any problem. (Margaret, 2007, 56-112)

And does not mean that the teacher are committed to their curriculum like a poor cook to their old cookbooks. (Morreale, 2008, 98-200)
