Dtlls Unit 411 Planning to Meet the Needs of Learners

What have I learnt from this unit/task/session?   By planning a series of lessons that show progression and show that I am taking knowledge further. Within my planning I would include a
• Starter – to capture interest, engage and focus attention.

When reflecting need to explore and have some significance in terms of what to achieve to understand better and find alternative ways of reacting and responding to them. In addition by doing this allows me to manage and question my own practice, enable to developing understanding and increase control of professional judgement....
