The feeling of inclusion for each of the learners and my flexibility when planning and delivering the lessons has strengthend the course and made it a more positive experience.
Negotiating with learners or initial assessment would start with the application form and develop through the interview process. It is vital at the onset of any course to ensure that learners and their chosen course are compatible with one an other. For example there could be physical barriers that would make completing the course very difficult. In hairdressing certain skin conditions such as Dermatitis would prevent a student from being able to complete various practical tasks. Being unable to communicate with clients if the student was unable to speak or hear would make the practical aspect of the course very difficult, with language barriers the students would be offerd a translating dictionary. With poor literacy and numeracy skills there would be support offerd in the form of an LSA. I have found with some students that taking time to explain and demonstrate slowly and...
