In this section, we introduce a key tool for this programme | In this section, we introduce a key tool for this programme which we call “The cycle of plan - teach - reflect” ({{activitytag|ptr}}). What this means is that in our professional learning, we progress by planning (e.g.) an activity. We then do this activity in the classroom, and then reflect on the activity (either on our own, with a colleague, or in a group). You can read more about the idea of "{{activitytag|ptr}}". | ||
Sometimes we capture these reflections. The simplest way to capture reflections is on paper. These can easily be shared. Because this involves extra work (e.g. done after a lesson), teachers can be reluctant to do so, and if you ask them to make notes, you may not actually get anything back. It can be helpful to give teachers some prompts that will remind them to reflect. | Sometimes we capture these reflections. The simplest way to capture reflections is on paper.

It is important to make very concrete plans with the teachers as to when they will be using their activities | It is important to make very concrete plans with the teachers as to when they will be using their activities. We would strongly recommend that teachers decide on a particular day / lesson / class when they will trial an activity. | ||
Also, arrange with the teachers when they will reflect. For instance, agree that the teachers will reflect immediately after the lesson. It is a common pattern for teachers to set the class quiet work. While we do not necessarily encourage this as a good use of lesson time, it is an opportunity for a teacher to quickly write down some reflections. So, if a series of interactive activities is followed by some individual work, the teacher could use that time to make some notes using the reflective questions provided. | Also, arrange with the teachers when they will reflect.
