Trainees will teach learners in a classroom or work related situation. They will plan, prepare, build resources, teach lessons, mark and assess work, support individual learners and reflect on their practice and react to observations from Mentors, Tutors and other stakeholders.

All the Trainees will receive regular feedback from a named subject specialist Mentor, with targets set to improve practice.

The Teaching and Learning methods will be personalised to support each Trainee's individual needs and requirements.

The module allows all trainees to demonstrate the application of Learning Theories through Professional Practice and Reflection
