Assignment Two
Planning and Evaluating Your Teaching and Learning.
This assignment is a continuous and contemporary review of the planning which you undertake during your first teaching practice. Each week you are required to focus on a different aspect of planning; everything is based upon lessons which you have taught and evaluated. You therefore need to be aware of the need for careful ‘advance’ planning. The assignment requires you to select different groups or classes each week you therefore need to understand the requirements before the event.
An important feature of this assignment is the review with your mentor. You need to show your mentor what you have written and agree upon targets for the coming week. The targets should be linked to the work you have completed; e.g. targets for the week commencing 15 January would relate to the choice and development of resources.
The purpose of this is to follow up perceived strengths and areas for development in the following week. This will help to ensure continuity from week to week and help improve your teaching abilities.
The document below gives details of the planning issues to be addressed week by week. For each area there are a series of pointers. This is for your guidance and will help us to assess your assignments. You will all (hopefully) be writing about the same issues).
In completing this assignment you will obviously be addressing the QTT standards in the following areas:
Planning 3.1. 1.> 4.
Teaching: Monitoring and Assessment 3.2. 1.> 7.
Teaching and Class Management 3.3 1.> 14
The submission date for this assignment is Monday 23 February.
