The teaching role and responsibilities in education and training
1. The teaching role and responsibilities in education and training
(a) Lecturer

Lecturers normally work in Further Education colleges, higher education institutions and private colleges. The extent of the role can be very prescriptive or very wide ranging, with additional responsibilities, depending on the size, type or ethos of the organisation. That aside, there are some common elements. These can include planning, preparing and delivering part of a course or the entire course, contributing towards quality assurance, adhering to organisation policies and procedures and awarding organisation requirements (e.g. Pearson, AQA, OCR, City and Guilds, etc).

Planning can include preparing and/or delivering to schemes of work. These outline the unit content of a course to be delivered per week or per session, the assessment objectives being applied, assessment methods and resources to be used and differentiation strategies for each session. Lecturers may also complete lesson plans, which provide more detailed information about the lesson aim(s), lesson objectives, how lesson objectives are going to be assessed, the content to be covered and the teaching, learning and differentiation strategies to be applied.

Where internally assessed courses are being delivered, lecturers may also be expected to design assignment briefs / assessment instruments and internally verify each others assignment briefs before they are issued. Assignment briefs normally include a set of tasks that learners are required to complete to pass part of or the entire unit. Internal verification includes a set of checks that a colleague lecturer (who may or may not be a qualified internal verifier) undertakes to make sure that the assignment brief or assessment instrument is fit for purpose (i.e. it is capable of generating valid, reliable and timely evidence and outcomes ).

Lecturers are expected to be familiar with key organisation policies and procedures, especially those relevant to their role. These can include policies and procedures relating to health and safety, equality and diversity, safeguarding, assessment and internal verification, examinations, invigilation, teaching and learning, assessment malpractice and maladministration, conflict of interest, learner discipline and gifts and bribes. Lecturers normally disseminate information through lectures, presentations, discussions, facilitation of group work and leading on external visits.

(b) Trainer

Depending on the context, the role of a trainer tends to be more versatile than that of a lecturer, often focusing on skills building, presenting complex information in a short timeframe, actively / frequently facilitating team and group working, having a more practical dimension to sessions (e.g. demonstrating techniques) and being more vocationally focused. Trainers often deliver on work-based learning courses, to professional audiences and in workshop contexts. They can also act as coaches and mentors as part of or an extension of the training delivery. They can be engaged on short-term, long-term or one-off sessions and may be responsible for designing, developing and/or delivering bespoke accredited and unaccredited courses.

Trainers may be highly specialised or expert in their area, with professional competency often being more important than academic qualifications. However, in order to be effective, even trainers need to know some basic teaching, learning and assessment techniques and strategies, including structured planning and delivery of training. Where trainers are delivering sessions on clients premises they are expected to abide by both their organisations policies and procedures and observe those of the host client. Management training and highly technical training may be delivered by trainers who are also freelance consultants, providing expert advice and training as part of a portfolio of professional services. Sometimes trainers specialise in delivering training only.
