Module 1 Assignment
Learning, Teaching and Assessment.
Module One Assignment.
In this assignment I will examine the traditional roles and responsibilities of the teacher as well as reflecting on my own practice and evaluating how the roles and responsibilities have changed from teaching to students to facilitating learning with them. I will also look at the different types of assessment that I use and the adaptions that I have made to ensure that it is inclusive and adapts to the needs of all of the learners.

Formative assessment provides feedback and encouragement and allows the learners and the facilitator to review how things are going.
