Join me in the world of Blendspace! I have compiled some from the internet on 'Questioning Techniques'. Blendspace has a lot of features to offer and what I like the most about it is the ability to get a smooth flow of lesson comprising of different types of materials all in one place. No need to scramble through the files looking for power point slides, word documents or googling on the www.
Like I always said, give it a try, you will feel the difference!
Arriving at the end of TnL carries the same weight as you are when starting the lesson. Notice on the effectiveness of a good closure can have in cementing what was learn and what is further expected from the learning. Teacher may use this feedback to evaluate their lesson during the reflection session by observing the good work they have done, the mistakes they would want to avoid in the future and the improvement they want to make.
A TnL must have some form of assessment in order to measure the success of our learning objective. Suggested here are oral and written assessment. To counter check, we are encourage to have both assessment in one TnL. Although for written assessment variation such as take home assignment are allowed nonetheless some issues of reliability must be addressed.
During a course for the new curriculum which I attended a few years back, the mentor asserted the importance of making an assessment qualifying for both validity and reliability criteria. She also adamant that assessment must incorporate i+1 in order for teacher to gauge their student's competency and thus preparing necessary measures for further improvement.
We had a plan. Refer to the last entry on planning a lesson. The next obvious step is to make the lesson a reality. Of course we will try to deliver it in the best way that we can.
I suggest you read this, it may change how you communicate in the classroom. A teacher must be conscious in delivering lesson. Never think of it as habitual as we need to use the cues exhibited by our pupils to adapt our lesson accordingly.
I am a teacher coach who is constantly on my toes. I don't know a lot of things but need to be in the knowing....or at least have an answer or suggestion if the situation demands. I deal a lot with TnL in the classroom and there are 12 aspects to be addressed in one hour! Phew! My brains work harder than usual which amaze me sometimes.
This entry is going to be in series and it covers the items in my Teacher Coaching Tool (TCT). TCT is used for TnL assessment and it measures teacher performance in 3 levels. Observing TCT will produce a well executed lesson reflecting the classroom of a 21st century.
