Introduction:
The purpose of the unit is to provide the learner with knowledge, understanding and skills relating to developing teaching, learning and assessment in education and training. It includes investigating practice in own area of specialism, applying theories, principles and models of learning, communication and assessment in relation to planning, delivering and assessing inclusive teaching and learning.
In this unit, learners will show continued development of their knowledge, understanding and skills relating to teaching, learning and assessment in education and training. Learners will carry out investigations into practice in their own area of specialism, communication and assessment. A key feature of this unit is the transference of knowledge gained through investigation and research into practice. Learners will also implement minimum core and apply theories of behaviour management, creating and maintaining a safe, inclusive teaching and learning environment. Evidence for this unit must be drawn from a real teaching environment, and when delivering teaching and learning, learners must ensure that they comply with internal processes and external requirements.
Learners are encouraged to consider their own thoughts about their delivery, any feedback they receive and information from any research or written assignments in order to reflect on their own delivery and how they can improve their practice. This unit provides evidence in some form of written assignment to evidence the knowledge assessment criteria, product evidence which are supposed to be lodged in the portfolio of teaching evidence.
There is also a requirement to evidence some practice and a minimum of four hours of assessed observation of practice that has achieved the required standard of teaching practice. It is not possible to achieve this unit without completing some hours of practice.

Academic Integrity
When students fail to act with academic integrity, this is known as academic misconduct (plagiarism, collusion, contract cheating, false declaration, fabrication or forgery, bribery, etc.). ABA takes academic misconduct issues seriously and the attainment of the degree and continuation on the course will be taken into serious consideration if students fail to uphold academic integrity of the College.
