Updated on: 14-06-2023 The aim of this unit is to enable the learner to agree individual learning goals with
their students, to plan inclusive teaching and learning in accordance with internal
processes and external requirements, and to evaluate their own practice in planning
teaching and learning. It covers what expectations are in relation to the minimum
core in planning inclusive teaching and learning. In August 2003 FENTO introduced
the minimum core of language, literacy and numeracy for inclusion in all post-16
teacher education programmes. Since September 2000 it has been expected that
initial teacher education programmes should equip all trainee teachers to develop
inclusive approaches to addressing the language, literacy and numeracy needs of
their learners.
This unit addresses issues underpinning the planning of learning and teaching from
the first point of contact with students, through initial and diagnostic testing.
Understanding the role of initial and diagnostic assessment will enable learners to
actively negotiate and record individual goals. This, in turn, will enable their
students to take increased responsibility for the learning process.
In all the units in this qualification there is a need to evaluate practice and involve
learners in the process in order to develop the best practice in teaching and
learning and to create opportunities to incorporate minimum core requirements.
This unit addresses the need to identify ways in which learning and teaching may
be improved to meet individual learner needs. This means that emphasis must be
placed on opportunities for learners to evaluate their own planning and preparation
of sessions that form part of their teaching practice.
