Q1. Analyze the need of Teacher Education in 21st Century. Provide evidence

from latest literature (2018 to 2023) with references. Present a critical analysis

of reforms in Teacher Education to meet the Sustainable Development Goal

(SDG) 4: Quality Education. (20+10+20)

The term "21st-century talents" is often used inconsistently, including a wide range of expertise

and capabilities that are difficult to pin down. Since many people believe that students in the

twenty-first century need a wide array of abilities alongside to the educational requirements that

are accepted by several states, the 21st century competencies have been created. The 21st century

skills can be imparted in or out of the classroom, and they operate best when aligned with

curricular requirements. Additionally, they are conducive to a holistic instruction, student-

centered projects, and real-world application. Click on the link for additional information about

these abilities. When developing the Standard State Standard (CCSS), the association for 21st

Century Skills' concept was incorporated into the CCSS. The goal of this strategy was to help

pupils develop the many-sided skills necessary for success in the modern world by incorporating

these concepts into classroom instruction. Students need to develop the "New 3rs"

(Relationships, Schedules, and Fortitude) in addition to the "4Cs" (Critical Understanding,

Communicating, Cooperation, and Innovation) of basic subject matter mastery. Niemi and

Multisilta (2016) argue that incorporating mental education and abilities into a course of study

helps learners not only learn more about the material at hand but also learn how to tackle

complicated challenges in real-life situations.

 2

Educational guidelines for the future generation were developed by the Partnership for 21st

Century Skills, and an acceptable approach to execution is now being presented. Modern

requirements (Van Laar et al., 2020).

• Abilities, understanding, and experience relevant to the 21st century should be

emphasized.

• Participate learners with actual information, instruments, and professionals that they will

face in university, on employment, and in existence; facilitate several levels of mastery;

connect lessons learned throughout and between core subjects and 21st-century

multidisciplinary subjects

Understanding, critical thinking, innovative skills, the press, knowledge, technological literacy,

and practical expertise and true education can all be woven into a 21st-century curriculum

(Lombardi, 2007). The 21st-century curriculum's primary focus should be on developing

expertise, with the aim of encouraging pupils to generate their own useful and skill-building

content. Creating lessons that are grounded in actual life not only engages students but also helps

them grasp the fundamentals. Learners will be able to broaden their horizons and learn about the

world around them as a result of this (Binkley et al., 2019).

Analyze the need of Teacher Education in 21st Century

Educating future educators is a vast and complete process that can be thought of as ongoing. Both

initial and during service educator training are necessary, as stated by the Global Encyclopedia of

Learning and Teacher Training. For Darling-Hammond (2018), "the instructor development"

means providing teachers with the resources they need to develop their own effective pedagogical

practices in the classroom.

 3

Need and Significance of Teacher Education in the 21st Century

The need and significance of teacher education in the 21st century are as follows (Darling-

Hammond, 2018).

1. Raise educators' visibility in the marketplace as employees of progress.

2. To raise faculty awareness of the need of safeguarding human rights.

3. Thirdly, so that educators may acquire competence in management and administration.

4. To help educators realize their potential as dedicated, effective full-time educators.

5. To provide opportunities for educators to acquire and hone all the tools they'll need to do

their jobs effectively.

6. Sixth, to encourage educators to cultivate a critical consciousness of the world around

them.

7. The seventh goal is to foster critical thinking among educators.

Challenges of Teacher Education in the 21st Century

The main challenges of teacher education in the 21st century are as follows (Loewenberg

Ball et al., 2019)

Lack Of Facilities for Professional Development

It is possible that certain pre-service teacher preparation programs lack the appropriate assets and

infrastructure.

Lack of regulation

There may not be enough rules in place to monitor the discipline practices of student instructors.
 4

Negative Attitude

Some aspiring educators might have an adverse perspective on the program since they enrolled

before giving thought to their own interests.

Lack of Motivation

Pre-service instructors may lose interest in finishing the program if they don't have assurances

that they'll have jobs waiting for them when they graduate.

Lack of Monitoring

The quality to educate for teachers across the nation could be compromised by the lack of

attempts to oversee teacher-education facilities.

The dedication of an educator is the single most significant factor in creating a high-quality

learning environment. Teachers must have a solid foundation of professional expertise as well as

a genuine enthusiasm for and commitment to the field of education. Incorporating cutting-edge

concepts from the fields of philosophical, psychological, sociological studies, and the visual and

performing arts has made their work deeper. Consequently, teacher learning involves a

curriculum that provides teachers with the tools they need to succeed in their careers.
 5

The 21st-Century Teacher

Teachers today need to be tech-savvy in order to satisfy the requirements of their students.

Included among Palmer's (2015) 15 Qualities of a 21st-Century Teacher are student-centered

instruction, digital material creation, and utilize, and a focus on the role of the pupil both

educator and practitioner. The article provides a more in-depth explanation of these abilities:

Universally Designed for Learning (UDL)

Curriculum is rethought through the lens of Universally Designed for Learn (UDL), which

prioritizes student variety and creates adaptable curricula to accommodate the requirements of a

wide range of learners. This method of teaching is very recent, and it is based on the idea that

every student is an individual with their own set of skills and shortcomings that they contribute

to the school. Today's educational institutions are home to a wide range of individuals from

various ethnicities, financial origins, and physical and mental impairments. The "normal" or

"normal" learner is often the focus of conventional curricula. This can put students outside of

these groups at an important drawback and create obstacles that hinder their ability to learn and

advance. Multiple, adaptable presenting strategies aid in identification education, whereas

multiple, adaptable expressiveness and training strategies aid in learning strategically, and

multiple, adaptable methods of participation aid in successful learning (Rose & Meyer, 2002).

Goal setting, strategy development, resource allocation, and monitoring frameworks are all areas

that can benefit from incorporating the aforementioned fundamental values. Programmed

developers, using an evaluation as a prime instance, can incorporate a variety of mediums,

designs, and ways to respond to ensure that pupils are being tested on their expertise and

abilities, rather than how well they process the structure and delivery. In both final and informal
 6

tests, that's valid. Students can receive constructive criticism from their peers and instructors

using digital resources and comments. The use of technology in the classroom provides the

additional benefit of facilitating learners' own research and study, along with their growth in a

variety of literacy skills. This can inspire children to learn more about the things that truly

interest them, which can help them develop their analytical skills and inventive abilities (Bell et

al., 2018).

Present a critical analysis of reforms in Teacher Education to meet the Sustainable

Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education.

The 2030 Strategy for sustainable growth is a plan for the entire world that leaves no one out.

Achieving SDG 4, which aims to "provide diverse and affordable quality schooling and encourage

continuous education possibilities for everyone," is crucial to creating communities that are

environmentally friendly, equitable, and robust. Universal schooling for all children was a major

focus of those goals, and SDG 4 intends to build on that success by using schooling as an impetus

for greater movement regarding sustainable development. A good education is foundational to

human worth. There are recursive connections between SDG 4 and the rest of the 2030 Agenda.

Learning is a key to breaking down class barriers and closing wealth gaps. The information base

necessary to address urgent issues, such as climate change, can only be accumulated through

education. Young people can better equip themselves for the high-skilled positions of the fourth

manufacturing era through schooling. Stable society and strong organizations can't exist without

education. Investing in schooling is crucial for long-term growth, but if other areas of the welfare

of people aren't improving at the same time, too, that won't be enough to help everyone reach their

highest potential. Improved enrollment in classes is important, but better health that nutrition are
 7

even more crucial for ensuring children succeed in school. Equally important to ensuring that all

children are enrolled in school is eliminating poverty, which can alleviate the influence of parents

to work. Taking into account the needs of marginalized communities, which often experience

several forms of impoverishment, is essential to achieving the 'leave no one alone' goal. Although

SDG4 is the only objective in the 2030 Strategy for Sustainable Development that specifically

mentions schooling, there are actually several further objectives that include school-related

objectives and/or benchmarks (Diemer & Khushik, 2020)

Successes and Challenges

This is a pivotal time to assess what needs to be done to speed up the achievement of SDG 4 and

to reaffirm the centrality of schooling in the broader 2030 Agenda. There has been advancement,

and there's are currently emerging boundaries and potential for greater solidarity and

collaborations to ensure that all people have access to excellent schools and possibilities for

perpetual learning. Many hurdles to accessing schooling and achieving successful educational

achievements persist, despite the setting shifting due to advances in technology and higher

requirements for specialized skills, as well as recessions and environmental deterioration.

Applying an inclusive approach to learning is emphasized by participants as a means of speeding

up advancement toward SDG 4. This includes, but is not limited to, providing more resources for

women and girls, hiring more women to be educators, incorporating lessons on reproduction and

sexual freedom into educational programs, and encouraging more young women to major in STEM

fields. Safe, gender-separated, and easily access restrooms (such as school bathrooms) that can be

used by both sexes are also a priority for ensuring that all girls and women have equal access to

educational opportunities. By incorporating digital literacy into the syllabus at a young age,

schools can help prevent social divisions, such as those along gender lines, from becoming
 8

entrenched. Education paves the way for the transfer of wisdom from an era to the next, laying the

groundwork for a prosperous future for all communities (Diemer et al., 2020)

Awareness and Communications Strategies

In the next stage of execution, it will be necessary to increase efforts to raise public consciousness.

Implementing the SDGs into educational programs is one way to encourage long-term behavioral

change among youngsters. Educational standards are being questioned as a consequence of

ensuring that techniques for learning meet up with ever-evolving requirements, particularly in a

society that is changing swiftly due to technology developments, internationalization, and

environmental concerns. Learning's role in preparing persons not only for gainful employment

(Target 4.4) but also for life in a multiple, interrelated, and networked world (Target 4.7) is gaining

prominence. It's time to take bold steps since contemporary skill sets won't be sufficient for the

next occupations, and the next jobs might not even require the same skill sets. Academic and

instructional methods are being overhauled in response to the information technology revolution.

There should be an attempt to expand educational opportunities and raise standards. There was

tremendous progress towards widespread elementary and high school graduation after the year

2000, although this trend has slowed in the last few years. Since 2008, there has been no change

in the percentage for youngsters who are not in school. Nine percent of elementary school-aged

kids, sixteen percent of middle schoolers, and thirty-six percent of high schoolers are not in

education.3 The sluggishness in advancement may be an indication of how difficult it is to reach

the left-behind groups. It may be associated with additional disadvantages, such as poverty and

malnutrition, that need to be remedied so that youngsters can go to education. Childhood

attendance at school is meaningless if they are not making academic progress (Diemer et al., 2020).
 9

The Quality of Education

Too many kids still aren't learning enough to be productive adults, in addition to having the

literacy and numeracy skills necessary to thrive in today's more globalized society and address the

problems identified in Mission 4.7. In: UNESCO (2018). Paris, France. Sustainability, rights for

individuals, and equal opportunity for women and men. Global Education Monitoring Report

2019. Learners around worldwide take national exams in the sciences, mathematics, and reading

as part of the OECD's Plan for International Student Evaluation (PISA). Even within Industrialized

in the OE wherein 20% of kids do not reach benchmark grade-level competence in comprehension,

there are large differences in the education that is gained from country to country. High and

uniform requirements for learners, an emphasis on excellent teaching, a dedication to helping low-

performing institutions and pupils, and an attachment to a comprehensive plan for learning are all

hallmarks of high-performing nations (Pakistan, 2017).

Teacher training

Providing teachers with adequate tools to educate their students is also crucial. Target 4.3

emphasizes the importance of higher education and its role in improving the quality of instruction

and facilitating the pursuit of perpetual education. It's crucial to other initiatives, such as those to

improve health care, combat the effects of climate change, and build peaceful institutions, as well

as to alleviate poverty, boost economic growth, and broaden access to decent work. The high cost

of attending a four-year university can be a major barrier to entry, hence aggravating existing

inequalities. Sub-Saharan Asia has some of the highest tertiary education costs in the world, with

several nations' tertiary expenses exceeding 60 percent of their median GDP as a whole (Khushik

& Diemer, 2017).

 10

Education and further training should be available to all members of society any discrimination.

Migrants, refugees, and other people in transition are included in the dedication to accessible

education. As the pace of internationalization quickens, relocation and exile have become pressing

concerns that have direct bearing on SDG 4. However, the interplay between immigration, forced

relocation, and schooling and its impact on upward mobility in society and the economy has

received little consideration. That's why it's so important to examine the ways in which schools

affect immigration and relocation, alongside the difficulties and possibilities that people's constant

on-the-go poses for learning and development (Khushik & Diemer, 2017).

Q2. Discuss how teachers can be trained to deal with diversity in the classroom.

Elaborate the emerging models of teacher education in contemporary times.

Explain quality teaching in Islamic perspective.

(20+15+15)

Discuss how teachers can be trained to deal with diversity in the classroom.

Diversity refers to the myriad ways in which individuals differ from one another. This encompasses

a wide range of categories, such as racial or ethnic background, sexuality, gender identity, financial

status, physical or mental capacity, their age, religious or philosophical views, and so on.

Collectively, these elements shape the way in how pupils (and educators) interact with the world. If

you're an educator in the twenty-first century, whether as an instructor, a counseling professional, an

administrator, or in any other capacity, you've probably wrestled with the question of how to deal

with the complexities to handle various cultures in school (Kendall, 2019).

Some strategies for addressing students' varying backgrounds are provided below (Deveney, 2017).

Be Upfront with Yourself about Limited Knowledge and Biases

Recognizing your own cultural blind spots is the first approach into becoming a more accepting

teacher. You will have a lot to learn about those who are distinct from you because of your

privileged location and education in a specific society, faith, or social status. Keep in mind that

each has formed latent prejudices throughout their lives that influence how they act around others.

Furthermore, you might have a head start on learning how to interact with students from other

cultures because of your own background and experiences. You may be in an opportunity of

control over the pupils you teach, but as a teacher, you still have a lot to learn about the external
 13

environment and about the ways in which individuals who are distinct than you live. In reality,

that's just fine; everybody must be held to a standard of flawless understanding.

Revisit Your Materials to Be More Inclusive and Culturally Diverse

It's also a good idea to look through your existing instructional and counseling resources to see if

you can incorporate more cultural variety into them. There is great benefit in reviewing the supplies

to make them more current and relevant to the needs of today's students, particularly as they relate

to instruction across more varied settings. If you want to make a difference with your teaching,

you need to break out of your routine and attempt something new. To get started, look into

instructional approaches that have been developed from the viewpoint of people from minority. If

you're a history teacher, for example, you should broaden your knowledge beyond the standard

canon of past events and customs. Find methods to incorporate talks about the ethnic origins of

your pupils if you understand that a great deal of them are members of certain multicultural

population in their homeland.

Get to Know Each of Your Students

Naturally, getting to know your pupils is the best approach to gain insight into cultural variety and

promote it as an advantage of the classroom setting. Addressing students reflective inquiries how

they were raised and providing an atmosphere of mutual respect can go a long way toward

improving their sense of belonging in their educational environment. Pay mindfully to the

particulars, such as the precise pronunciation of their initials. As a teacher in an educational setting

with students from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds, you have two primary

responsibilities to play: example and mediator. You is going to be capable to carry out these

responsibilities by encouraging students to come openly and share personal information and by
 14

fostering an atmosphere that recognizes and appreciates cultural diversity. Put your kids at the

center of their own understanding about cultural differences and emphasize that every individual

has something to offer the class.

Give Your Students the Chance to Highlight Their Cultural Backgrounds in Their Lessons

Finally, give kids a chance to share who they are and what they've learned about today's courses

and their own traditions. Inspire your kids to make parallels among what they're learning during

class alongside what they know from their home nation or society, and give them room to express

that knowledge in creative ways. You and your pupils will be astounded at how often cultural

references can be made. Linguistics and speech classes can benefit from giving pupils the chance

to express their cultural identities through imaginative writing. In a science class, for example, you

may inquire your pupils to explain the social significance of a technical concept.

Why is diversity in the classroom important?

You are failing in your duty as a teacher if you do not address the topic of variety of your lessons

and actively work to foster diversity at your institution of learning. To effectively educate students

for life and work in a culturally and racially diverse institution, neighborhood, and nation,

instructors must acknowledge and accept these facts. In addition, there are additional evidence-

based benefits to having a diverse student body (Makau, 2018). This holds true for students as well.

Elaborate the emerging models of teacher education in contemporary times.

Educating pupils for careers as successful educators is a top priority in the modern educational

system. As a result, there are now programmed designed to improve teacher training. These

courses investigate strategies that may inspire future educators and practicing educators to
 15

prioritize learners. Despite the longevity of teacher preparation courses, ESL teacher preparation

is a more recent phenomenon. Many instructional thinkers and administrators have passed down

varying perspectives on the various frameworks for training teachers. Nevertheless, there were

three points of agreement among the investigators. As a result, these three concepts have

received widespread acclaim as effective educational models around the world. Wallace, who

has proposed fresh versions for education for educators, has based his work on the ideas of his

predecessors but simplified or clarified them (Wallace & Bau, 2018).

The Applied Science Model

Historically, and maybe even currently, the most common theoretical framework for ESL

teacher training programs is the Applied Science Model. In 1991, Michael J. Wallace

proposed it based on Donald A. Schön's Technical Rationality. Empirical scientific progress,

especially that of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, is where the model finds its backing.

What follows tenets form the basis of the Applied Science Model (Wallace & Bau, 2018):

1. Because education is a science, it can be studied in a methodical, impartial way.

2. Educators acquire their skills by studying established pedagogical principles.

3. Children are only hearing these ideas from people widely regarded as authorities in the

industry.

4. Educated educators can successfully implement these notions into their classrooms.
 16

Merits:

The benefits of the Applied Science Model include:

The rapid expansion of pertinent scientific information in the recent past is a fundamental

consideration of this model, and the model's emphasis on theoretical study affords students

several opportunities to acquire the requisite expertise.

Despite its wide use, it suffers from a few drawbacks.

• The importance of changes implemented by professionals is undervalued since they are not

considered, thereby eroding the bond between academia and the working world.

1. The biggest issue arises when pupils are expected to independently apply what they

have learnt in class.

2. The Model also has problems since it doesn't do a good job of addressing many the

most critical concerns involved in learning English. There is a dearth of studies their

concentration squarely on how English is taught and learned in schools.

3. Many academics argue that learners who participate in classes centered on the Applied

Science Framework do not believe that these classes contribute to their professional

growth.

4. The student is unable to actively participate by asking any questions. He does as the

expert tells him to do.

5. Due to its narrow focus, the applied science Model falls short of fully preparing future

educators for their roles in education, both as instructors and as investigators.

 17

6. Unlike other models of education, the Applied Science Model relies heavily on

external information, in the form of established standards and values.

7. The Model is restrictive because it encourages educators to stick to a tried-and-true

style of instruction rather than relying on their own personal or gut-level beliefs about

what works in the classroom.

8. Product-focused: It blindly adheres to a variety of tried-and-true strategies for

enhancing classroom performance. No room for individual expression of creativity

exists in this framework.

9. The biggest flaw is that it hasn't provided a "scientific" answer to the many problems

that teachers encounter in the educational setting.

2. The Reflective Model

There has been an important change in the field of language educator training, with reflective

instruction taking center stage. But it's not a new approach to classroom instruction. Many

prominent figures in the field of education have contributed to its development. The majority of

imaginative categories discovered in the research on teacher training draw from Dewey's inquiry-

based theories. In the 1980s, the American sociologist built upon Dewey's earlier work on

introspection. In a later section, Schön's criticism was described in greater detail.1991

According to research (Michael, 1991),

The core tenet of the Reflective Model is that career development for educators can be achieved

through introspection. That is to say, in order to reach an assessment and contribute to future

preparation and actions, an instructional moment is recalled and thought about.

According to Wallace, there are two types of information that every teacher education program

should cover.
 18

1. Acquired knowledge: this refers to everything the aspiring educator learns in the course

of acquiring an ELT technique.

2. Knowledge gained via instructing practices; this is the kind for understanding that

trainees acquire.

3. The Wallace Reflective Model can be used in both initial training and ongoing

professional development. There are three distinct phases to this model:

4. There is the prerequisite training, which is based on the assumption that an individual

having opted to pursue an academic career will not join the curriculum having learned

nothing previously. He knows a little bit about education already.

5. We have the "professional maturation" phase, which entails formal training and

experience in one's chosen field.

6. Corporate competency; enhancing expertise is the a final aim.

Wallace describes the Reflective Model as a continuous method in which learners have an

integral role during the duration of the training. Constant growth and the formation of one's own

action philosophy are the stated goals of such an ongoing process. It is assumed that the pupils

and educators have gained a little understanding both as academics and via the process of

creating their English curriculum. When future educators are given classroom experience, they

learn the fundamentals of instruction and get insight into a variety of teaching scenarios. As a

result, they begin to reflect on how well they did during their practicum internships, how other

teachers have handled comparable circumstances, and how they may have handled them had they

been in a similar position. As a result, they settle on a course of action and consider several

alternatives. Or they may simply think back on their classwork to gauge how well they did on the
 19

job. By doing such an analysis, educators can better understand the merits and drawbacks of their

approach to instruction (Michael, 1991)

Source: (Michael, 1991)

This is a popular approach to gaining expert abilities, and it definitely involves self-reflection,

even if the learning part of the equation takes place beyond the confines of the program itself.

Current Emerging Trends in Teacher Education

They are following (Livingston & Flores 2017).

Team Teaching

Co-teaching, additionally referred to as collaborative teamwork, is a kind of instruction in which

two teachers work together in a single classroom.

 20

Personalized Learning

It's a departure from the standard lecture format because students can proceed through the

material at their own pace.

Training the Brain to Learn

The authority of the subconscious is revealed through scientific investigations which show how

repeated exposure to a thought strengthens neural circuits.

Ability to Think Critically

By fostering a culture of questioning and urging learners to work together to find solutions,

creativity has paved the way for innovative approaches to education.

Emotional and Social Development

Training entails a comprehensive procedure that equips trainees with the understanding,

perspective, and ability to live empathetic lives. Self-awareness, autonomy, of social skills,

interpersonal abilities, and responsible choice-making are the five pillars upon which this

framework is built.

Changeable Instruction

In the past few years, a wide variety of applications for adaptive education have evolved.

Technology is used to make classrooms dynamic, student-centered, and data-driven.

 21

Connectivism

It claims that the "what, why, and when" of education are being regulated by technologically-

enhanced systems for knowledge.

Mind state of Flow

Scientists in the field of education nowadays are trying to figure out how to induce states of

intense concentration and mental immersion in their students.

If we want to fix the problems with schooling and make schools better places to learn, we need

to invest in our educators. It describes the goals of education, the nature of courses, and the

significance of practical lessons.

Explain Quality Teaching in Islamic Perspective.

Generally speaking, a service is considered high-quality if it satisfies its customers and lives up to

their expectations for the service type. Items, people/labor, processes/tasks, and surroundings that

fulfill or exceed what customers want were central to Garvin and Davis' definition of quality.

Excellent service is defined as "the degree to which actual service outcomes consistently exceed

those promised to customers. One definition of the level of service is "the extent to which the

actuality of a service falls short of the consumer's ideal of that service A service's excellence is

achieved when it satisfies the demands of its customers and when the choices made during its

presentation are commensurate with the satisfaction of those buyers' and the expectations of the

service's suppliers. customer happiness should serve as the starting point for evaluating a
 22

company's performance, with the contentment of the client being the ultimate criterion. The

standard of the amenities offered by the company that provides them is established by the

customer, who is in a unique position to do so because they are the ones who directly experience

and rely on the provider's offerings. Reliability of assistance, as defined previously, can be thought

of as any action taken by suppliers of services to deliver on customer expectations. Mindset and

character of suppliers when offering solutions to ensure satisfied clients (Faryadi, 2015). Services

supplied to end users in the forms of convenience, speed, a connection, and competence.

Quality of Educational Services in Islam Perspective

Islam's guiding principle is enshrined in verse 267 of the book of the Quran, "Surah al-Baqarah,"

which states, "Make sure not provide a bad whether or not excellence, rather an excellent one for

people." O you who have faith! Use what you've made alongside what we provide from the planet

for you; don't go looking for harmful stuff to give away because you understand that Lord is the

ultimate, praiseworthy one. According to the Islamic view, the idea of excellent schooling is an

outcome this, when combined with assistance, results to an advantage that delivers greater rewards;

this view emphasizes close cooperation among suppliers of services and their clients. According

to the Islamic viewpoint [9], the standard of schooling is based on the following five perspectives

(Syam & Arifin 2019):

Responsiveness

Reactivity quality service is a sort of service in explanation, so that product givers and receivers

can both benefit from the presence of a response character aspect in the assistance they obtain. (1)

Offer a sage justification in light of the various modes of service it must contend with. When given

such thoughtful clarification, clients are much more likely to fully grasp and appreciate the
 23

assistance they have received. (2) Give a straightforward, translucent concise, and responsible

description of the nature of the assistance issue at hand. (3) Explain why certain forms of assistance

are invalid since they don't comply with the previously outlined terms and regulations. (4)

Instructing those who are to be serviced in the preparation, implementation, and monitoring of the

different conditions of their obligations that must be fulfilled. And (5) convince the person
