and supports children’s learning and builds their self-esteem. It examines different ways to organise classroom
furniture, to use the walls for displays to stimulate interest and promote thinking. The unit discusses how to include
the children in brightening the classroom environment.
UNIT 4. DEVELOPING PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS
This unit explores the ideas and beliefs behind Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for teachers. It examines
how important it is for teachers to be open to new ideas and ways of working, and to always strive to improve their
understanding of teaching and learning towards ensuring that more children are actively engaged in learning and gain
in self-confidence. Through the case studies and activities teachers are introduced to ways to reflect on their practice
such as, sharing ideas and planning with colleagues to try out new ideas and thus build up communities of practice
where each teacher supports and helps the other teachers
MODULE 2: LEARNING FOCUSED
CLASSROOM PRACTICES
UNIT 5 EXPECTATIONS AS THE KEY TO EFFECTIVE TEACHING AND LEARNING
Research has shown that how a teacher perceives a child as a learner can have very significant impact on the child’s
success as a learner, both negatively and positively. This unit explores how to develop a supportive environment and
encourages the use of more positive ways of interaction within the classroom, such as using praise and
encouragement which is appropriate to each child’s stage of development. It stresses the importance of keeping an
open mind rather than closing down the options on a child’s and being prejudiced against a child because they come
from a certain part of town or are from a certain family or look a certain way.
