How will the learning path be evaluated and developed?

• Assess and evaluate each lesson using a combination of individual and group reflection

  Lesson Mentoring

  Lesson mentoring is a valuable way to get feedback on your teaching. Sit in on each other’s lessons if there is an opportunity to do so.
  Teachers need feedback about their own teaching and its effect on the students. They need the appreciation of colleagues and a realistic challenge to enable them to develop further. When observing, make sure you are a critical friend and identify what worked well and what will need to change.

   

  Prepare an observation catalogue for the lesson mentoring session, e.g.

  • Did the lesson achieve the objectives identified?
  • What has proven successful from the point of view of organisation, methods and procedures?
  • What areas need to be revised?

  
  Notes on How to Conduct the Lesson Mentoring Session:

  • Make a note of no more than two observation tasks for the team members,
  • Draw up an observation record during the lesson mentoring session and subsequently try to find answers to your questions.
  • Evaluate the lesson mentoring session as a team.

  YOUR TURN: Action Plan Part 3: Reflection - Lesson and Learning Path Evaluation

  Reflection is an important aspect of teaching and learning. Analyzing your pedagogy and curriculum, thinking about how and why successes or failures occurred, are a few items that lead to improvements in your teaching. Go to your Action Plan and complete Part 3.

  When you have completed all three sections of your action plan, check with your facilitator on the venue for submission for certification.

  Future

  As mentioned at the beginning of this Learning Path, Project-based approaches can be used with any grade level and any subject area. Teachers who have the same team of students can create an inter-disciplinary unit. All students, regardless of age, appreciate an student-centered classroom where they have a voice and a choice on some aspects of their learning.
