Teaching and Learning - good practice

For every hour spent in the classroom you can expect to spend another hour planning and preparing (dependant on experience)

A well-prepared session:

• Allows sufficient time for activities
• Has clearly stated SMART objectives that are understood by learners
• Meets the course objectives and requirements of the scheme of work
• Has a session plan which incorporates outcomes from initial and ongoing learner assessment (including health status assessments for sports/exercise & dance classes)
• Has all necessary resources prepared in advance of the session
• Builds on learners’ prior knowledge

• Plans for activities that allow for learners’ different abilities and learning styles
