What training should we do on a regular basis?

For training, this may be covered somewhere but I’d be interested in some sort of classroom management type training. What to do if the cadets are being :poop:s, e.g. talking back, not engaging, what to do if a 1 Cadet is getting things a lot quicker/slower than others etc.

Methods of Instruction? The course I attended certainly covered that sort of stuff.

Ditto, even talk about how cadets can approach it when staff are being disruptive to their lesson.

I did wonder if it would be on MOI. I did PTTLS and hoped it would have been covered on that but it wasn’t. Thanks, I’ll look into if these are being delivered virtually.

Even the Level 3 Award in Education and Training (which replaced PTLLS) doesn’t have much in the way of classroom management techniques. When I deliver the course, I always make sure it IS included because managing the personalities within a group is key as to whether you as a teacher, get across your teaching points. Ergo, whether those personalities will achieve the learning outcomes or not.

So do you think MOI would be the way forward? I seem to remember reading if I’d done PTTLS/the Award in E&T I didn’t need to do the MOI? I might be getting confused as I know there was something I didn’t need to do as a result!

Same here, but it was death by powerpoint so none of us retained it :eyes:

I should have said that when I deliver the L3 AET, that I always include a session on classroom management.

The L3 AET is the entry level teaching qualification and having completed both MOI and higher-level teaching qualifications in my time, I’d argue MOI is a different animal designed for different things. I’d suggest that whilst both have their strengths, they also have their weaknesses.

That said, the L3 AET would get you a job teaching in a college whereas the MOI wouldn’t necessarily do so.
