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 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
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.
