Education and Training (Supporting Teaching and Learning)
BA (Hons)

This module will assist you in developing your awareness of issues relating to debates on education policies and how these impact on practice. It will also enable you to establish connections between leadership, organisational improvement and organisational change.

The individual practice project gives you the opportunity to define your own research topic, working on it over an extended period of time. It allows you to draw together the learning from all other modules and to use your working practices to help others learn.
The module is designed to facilitate the development of a range of skills that will enable you to independently research an area of professional concern. There will be tutor support available to assist in this process and you will also be encouraged to reflect upon the vocational and other work skills you have developed whilst undertaking the dissertation work.

This module will develop your understanding of the importance of identifying and meeting the individual needs of children and young people with special educational needs.
You develop confidence and skill in creating individual education and health care plans for individuals, identifying the level of support needed and involvement required of external agencies.

This module enables you to understand the place and importance of research in the field of education, and prepares you for the completion of an individual action research project.

You explore aspects of curriculum design, planning and assessment and to evaluate some of the issues, factors and considerations that are made when planning a learning, teaching and assessment task. You then discuss the relationship between these issues and good practice. If you are not leading in a learning situation, you may draw upon joint planning activities you have carried out with another practitioner as a basis for the development of the work for the module assessment task.

This module encourages you to explore how learning situations can be used to promote positive patterns of behaviour in learners.
