Prompts to write reflective journal
1. Preparing for Mixed Attainment Instruction:
-
The instruction strategy I adopt this week is xxx.
-
How did I build the strategy into my instruction part of the lesson to facilitate
understanding of students in mixed attainment groups.
-
What’s the rationale behind it?
-
Is it easy to plan? Does it take me a long time to plan?
2. Implementation of Instructional Strategies:
-
Reflect on the effectiveness of the instructional strategy in promoting
engagement and learning for students across different attainment levels. What
evidence or observations support my evaluation?
-
Did I modify or adapt the plan in the process of delivering the instruction?
-
If so, why? What did I do? Did it achieve the effect I anticipated?
3. Student Engagement:
-
Reflect on the level of engagement among students in the mixed attainment
group during math instruction. How did the strategy promote active participation
and interaction among students with different attainment levels?
-
Describe any successful instances of peer learning or collaboration within the
mixed attainment group. How did these interactions contribute to student learning
and achievement? (Specifically for “group discussion strategy”)
4. Reflection on Student Outcomes:
-
What did I do/ which question did I ask to assess the outcome and progress
students made in the instruction part of the lesson.
-
Based on the outcomes observed, evaluate the effectiveness of the
instructional strategies used in teaching math to mixed attainment groups.
-
Are there any specific challenges I have encountered in the process of plan
and implementing the strategy?
