Hiya could anyone please give me some ideas what to write for cache unit 1 D1: Explain why a teaching assistant needs to reflect on their own practice when working with pupils
I have wrote to see what works and doesn't work. not being afraid to ask for help. to expand our knowledge by going on training courses. i can't think what else to write. Thanks Bubbles x

To see where a child may have misconceptions and how we can rectify this.
To extend a child who is gifted and Talented.
To support a child with SEN by changing the delivery and using their learning style to enhabnce their learning.
To move on to the next step.
To use cross- curricular opportunities when they arise.

How this helps

Thank you Jack of all trades your a gem! I'm really struggling at the moment don't seem to be able to cope with everything in life. Difficult when you are working full time, have 4 kids, going to college, assignments, have a mother with dementia, a father who thinks about noody but himself, a teenager who is in love and had his heart broken. Trouble at work! Do I need to go on? Sorry should have posted this on 'moans and groans' lol what would I do without great friends and this forum? xx

Hi there, your life sounds so much like mine!
Good luck and I'm sure things will pan out fine in the end.

Hi Bubbledream,

I wrote about reflective practice as a TA,
and how you can work within a team etc...
it worked for me as I got an A.
hope this helps
Teebee

Well done Teebee on getting an A! I think I have sorted it, went upstairs out of the way of the noise and commotion and found that I could concentrate better or was it the 3 glasses of wine that helped? Thank you to everyone who has helped whether it is with suggestions or encouragement take care xx

your welcome
glad to be able to help

if you would like me to look over D1 to see if your on the right track just pm me

thanks teebee but i will take it in on tues and our tutor is really good she will look at it and tell me if and where i have gone wrong, She has done this with B1 and said it was excellent! xxxx

its ok im sure your on the right track then
good luck with it all

Glad I was of some help and here is a tip if you can't work.Hoping you can drive.

Leave the kids with OH and jump in the car with flask, file and pen drive somewhere no-one knows you and write in the car.Best to remove dressing gown first.

Yes I can drive Jack of all Trades and that is a brill idea but won't do it unless I can still wear my dressing gown. Have worn it all day today, my hubby came in from work and just shook his head at me...what does he know! thanks xx

Ahh lovely I wore mine till 10.00am.Saturday was worse about 2pm.My mum used to wander about in hers and I was embarassed as ateenager now I understand! I love Saturdays don't have to go to work and slop about in my Dg.

To make sure that we don't become complacent, or prejudiced ourselves.
If we have developed our own prejudices without realising how can we stop children becoming prejudiced.
So we are constantly keeping upto date with what is going on in education and can pass that knowledge onto the children.

Hope this helps.

Thank you jenn might come in useful for someone else but handed mine in last week. Hope you enjoy belonging to our little group! BD x
