Task 1
1.During work placement, create a learning environment for a small group or an individual. Provide an evaluation of this learning environment and include a diagram or photos. Your evaluation should:
- Specify the aspects that contribute to a positive and stimulating environment.
- Specify the aspects that do not contribute to a positive environment.
- State what you could change and why.
2.Read the scenario below and answer the questions that follow:
Scenario
The group of five has been assigned to work with the classroom teacher on their reading skills. The remaining groups have been assigned reading and writing tasks which they are expected to complete independently. All students have additional tasks they can go on with if they complete their assigned tasks early.
The groups are scheduled to run until
As the Teaching Assistant, you have been assigned to provide general support to and supervision of the small groups as they work on their tasks. Typically, there will be students who need additional direction – there are some students who find it difficult to stay on task; there are also students who will disrupt others and who may require closer supervision.
Below is a list of the tasks allocated to each group and some comments about the students in the group.
- Group 1 – Creative writing:Jude is often disruptive and uncooperative.
- Group 2 – Writing stories using the computers:Ava tends to dominate others and can be very bossy.
- Group 3 – Story flow-chart (group task):Tilly rarely contributes to group discussion but tends to complain about decisions that are made by others.
- Group 4 – Independent reading and research:Noah finds it difficult to stay on-task and tends to observe rather than participate.
Questions
a) Explain the equipment you would need to prepare and how you would prepare it.
b) You need to work with each group – where would you start? Why?
c) State the order in which you would visit the remaining groups – give a reason for your choice.
d) Suggest the strategies you would use to supervise the students.
e) How would you manage students who are disruptive?
Task 2
1.During work placement, locate three (3) learning resources that are available within the learning environment to support individual or group learning needs. For example,a cooperative numeracy game (‘Ladybird Dots’) for a small group of children. Using the information gathered, complete the table below (or you may create your own):
2.Identify a job or task you were asked to do whilst on work placement e.g.accompanying a group of students to the book room to change readers each day, assisting in toileting students before lunch, or covering books ready to go home at the end of the week. You may consider providing a photograph of the task or a note provided by the teacher to support your answer.
a) Outline the task
b) Indicate the time frame for completion
c) Describe how you completed it
1.Outline how information about lessons/activities and group work are communicated between the teacher and education support worker. Provide an example of how a lesson or activity was communicated to you for set up or to be involved in.
Describe how students were informed about the lesson/task or group work, how it would be organised and how they would be involved.Outline how the student’s performance, contribution and participation during the task or activity was documented for the teacher, if necessary.
