PTTLS - Preparing To Teach in the Lifelong Sector

Outline

This qualification has been developed for anyone entering teaching or training roles or already in-service who needs to achieve the minimum threshold status as a teacher in the lifelong learning sector – that is, adult and community learning and development, further education, libraries, archives and information services and work-based learning.

By 2010, anyone who teaches courses that are publicly-funded will have to be qualified. This qualification introduces the knowledge and skills required by teachers to develop and deliver programmes, provide learning support and take responsibility in managing the learning process in post-16 education.

On completion students should be able to:

  • Understand your own role, responsibilities and boundaries of role in relation to teaching

  • Understand appropriate teaching and learning approaches within a specialist area

  • Demonstrate your session planning skills – plan, deliver, observe and evaluate a micro-teaching session

  • Understand how to deliver inclusive sessions that motivate learners

  • Understand the use of different assessment methods

  • Understand and analyse the need for accurate record keeping and procedures that can be adopted – including internal and external assessment information.
