3. Successful teachers are those who want to
continue learning and to reflect on and refine
their practice throughout their careers. In
exploring what it means to be a teacher, it is
therefore vital for you to consider your own
learning processes and what is also understood
by the term ‘learner.

7. Starter Activity
You have 15 minutes to create a container for
loose change, by using the materials in your box.
Things to consider:
– How will you join the materials?
– How will you make the container secure?

Link to Skills Audit All work that you do in F/T and teaching in schools will be building your knowledge of the subject content that is required to teach at KS3/4 and beyond.This will also help you with reflection and action planning On the card (include name) write whether you are red/amber/green when it comes to Textiles – (reflection)Now tell me your degree classification, title, UK based.This is very crude – 1st = green, 2.1 = amber & 2.2 = red (3 shouldn’t be a teacher).How do you think the children in your class feel? What if I assume that your all red and I teach you to be satisfactory teachers (never push you to being good/very good?).Collect in sheets and record whilst on next task.

This activiCongruent TeachingOften teachers when meeting a class for the first time will want to devise activities that help them to benchmark the learners. Assessment for Learning is a term that they will come across and this is the learning theory that I’m using. I need to know where my learners are to build a picture of them – support me with identifying differentiated learning outcomes. Teachers also get information on pupil performance from SAT tests/info from KS2 – link to degree classification Might be better in D&T to set bench-mark activities that allow children to demonstrate the kinds of DT capability tasks that we use in our teaching.ty has been designed to act as a bench-marking task – to help the teacher identify at what stage the learners are, in their learning.
Levels in Design and TechnologyLook at the level descriptors for D&T.Work in pairs to identify the level of D&T capability demonstrated in the containers – give evidence.
