These will include planning, delivering and the reviewing of assessment strategies, behaviour management, communication and creating positive relationships, supporting EAL students, special educational needs and disability support, personal development and reflective practice.
Learners will develop their knowledge and understanding of how schools and colleges are structured, the legislation, guidance, policies and procedures and how these are promoted in the setting to keep children and young people healthy, safe and secure.
