Scenario
It is important to be able to put theory into practice; to be able to understand and draw upon theory, identify areas of strength and areas requiring
improvement in practice in order to develop expertise and confidence. Evaluation is essential for the development of teaching and learning
approaches. Evaluation often involves combining the teachers thoughts on theory and practice. For teachers, evaluation and making improvements
are essential for positive learner outcomes and in starting to develop reflective practitioner skills. For this unit of assessment you will need to build
a practice file containing evidence of the planning, delivery and evaluation of your micro-teaching session.
