Strategy sharing using placemats
Reflect: How could you use these strategies in a classroom context?
Have you got somewhere you document and record good strategies?
a. Appropriate progress during daily visits and the three week continuous block (including Working Porfolio)
b. Professional Portfolio – align to QCT standards
c. Individual Learning Plan d. Unit of work
Find out what school has done in the past – you need to work within their parameters but ‘value add’
Go back to Essential Learnings & syllabus documents yourself
Check the QCAR assessment bank & other resources (NAPLAN, literacy & numeracy indicators)
Use uni template or school templates (perhaps adapt to suit our requirements)
When you are clear on the curriculum intent, and assessment outcomes, learning journey becomes clearer
Other levels of planning all need to keep revisiting ‘learning intent’ – don’t fall into ‘activity teaching’
Continually reflect on your own practice
Observe and reflect on the practice of others
Continue to build your repertoire of skills and knowledge
Have a range of strategies to use when planning pedagogy and enacting it
Find your own ‘teacher’ voice and presence in context of that classroom/with that teacher
Map everything you need to do and put it on a physical planner
Ensure you communicate clearly with your Mentor – don’t rely on texting or email if you can’t make it
Work out your days and what you commit to and stick with them (don’t say I’m coming every week, then stop going when assignments come in)
Even if their style is not your own It is their class They are still establishing
themselves with the class & parents
You need to earn their trust You need to demonstrate your
competency and commitment You often need to ‘prove’
yourself before some teachers may be keen for you to ‘take risks’ and try something new or different
Look at what you are doing – what’s working, what’s not working… list all options
Consider the other possible perspectives
You need to talk to your mentor teacher/LLM face to face
Make a specific time to meet, make notes if you’re nervous and rehearse what you might say
“When this happens… I feel….”Let us know…
Nominate areas you would like to look at in these sessions
Bring in ILP form and reflections on previous experiences and feedback
