Learning and Skills Teachers help young people and adults within all parts of the education and training sector achieve their dream careers. Settings are varied and can include work-based and independent training provision, further education, adult and higher education, offender learning, and the voluntary sector, so people who enjoy broad horizons in their careers are well suited to the role. The role is also ‘dual-professional’, meaning individuals must first have achieved competence in a vocational or subject specialism and then subsequently trained as a teacher.
Apprenticeship Assessment Components
To complete their Apprenticeship Assessment, Learning and Skills Teacher apprentices must achieve a pass or distinction in the following two components.
-
To support this assessment method, the apprentice produces a thematic case study mapped to the relevant knowledge, skills and behaviours across the assessment themes, and an online presentation demonstrating their journey towards their mastery of current technologies. The Apprenticeship Assessment Assessor evaluates the case study, and prepares questions for the subsequent professional discussion.
The professional discussion is a two-way discussion between the apprentice and the Apprenticeship Assessment Assessor. Following their review of the thematic case study and online presentation, the Apprenticeship Assessment Assessor prepares a minimum of 15 questions to ask the apprentice. The professional discussion lasts 60 minutes (+10% variance at the End-Point Assessor’s discretion).
-
Apprentices are observed delivering two teaching sessions, enabling direct assessment of the professional knowledge, skills and behaviours. At least one of the observations takes place in a formal setting, for example, a lecture theatre, workshop or classroom. The second observation could be carried out in a different teaching environment, for example, the natural work environment. Each observation lasts 60 minutes, creating a total observation time of 120 minutes (+10% variance at the Apprenticeship Assessment Assessor’s discretion).
A 20-minute question-and-answer session takes place following the second observation. The questions asked will clarify aspects of the observation and explore any knowledge, skills and behaviours that couldn’t be demonstrated naturally during the observations.
