T1W10

Lesson Reflections & Lesson Plans

During Staff Time on T1W10, one teacher feedback that she finds that lesson reflection is more meaningful to her as compared to doing up lesson plans. However, as a head, I need to be kept informed of their lesson progress and so I explained to all the teachers the rationale for them to submit lesson plans. But to ease their load, I made it flexible for them by allowing them to submit the textbook's SIOs to me instead but with indications of which objectives have been covered or planned for the week if they choose not to use the prescribed lesson plan template.


Book/File Check

Although I split the work between Rozi, I still went round to try to catch a glimpse of most of the teachers' books. Generally, majority of them gave a substantial no of assignments for pupils to work on. However, some of them still need more working on the marking part and giving meaningful feedback. Many teachers did not request their pupils to fill in the content pages of the exercise books, only content pages of files are filled. Hmm ...... maybe I should revert back to the old days when my first HOD insisted that all teachers must get their pupils to fill up the content pages of their exercise books. This would help me to have a better sense of the amount of work given to the pupils.

As for feedback, one teacher did not write any feedback on pupils' assignments except on the content page of the files. The only thing I saw was a big tick on each page of the assignment. How meaningful is this? I can't tell. Guess I will have to interview this teacher on how feedback is given to his pupils then.
