Equality + Diversity Discussion

Equality and Diversity Task [1]

You have a learner on your course who is both disruptive and demanding on your attention. Whilst trying to answer all of their questions the rest of the class are losing concentration.

Discuss some strategies you have used/ or could use?

Q: Whose rights are paramount here? The individual or the group as a whole?


A: - Make it clear you will answer any questions at the end of the session. 
     - Tell then they need to calm down in a sensible manner.
     - Strike method, where if the disruptions continue they will be asked to leave, as a last case           resort.
     - Frequent question breaks.
     - Encourage other people in the group to ask questions. "Anyone else please?"
     
You need to respect the individual, but need to progress the group. Tackle the individual first in order to move the group forwards.

The PTLLS Courses qualification is for new comers to the Lifelong Learning Sector. The qualification is also ideal for people who already work in the industry but want to obtain an official qualification. Before you sign up for a PTLLS course it is a good idea to know what subject you would like to teach, so you can work towards the award in that area.
