The Teaching and Learning Cycle

identifying needs – finding out what your organisation’s, your own, and your potential learners’ needs are, finding out why learners are taking the programme and what their expectations are, carrying out initial and diagnostic assessments, agreeing individual learning plans, ensuring learners are capable of achieving their goals and progressing to their chosen destination

planning learning – preparing schemes of work, session plans and materials to ensure you cover the requirements of the programme, liaising with others

facilitating learning – teaching, training and facilitating learning using a variety of approaches, activities and resources to motivate, engage and inspire learners

assessing learning – checking your learners have gained the necessary skills, knowledge and understanding at all stages throughout their time with you, using formal and informal types and methods of assessment

evaluating learning – obtaining feedback from others, reflecting on your role and all aspects involved with the learning process in order to make improvements.
