I appreciated learning about designing a reading programme. Especially seeing examples of other timetables for both teacher and students.
Time has been an obvious issue in my teaching practice where I have struggled to keep to the scheduled timeframes for each curriculum area, other teaching curricular (planning, marking, assessment, IEPs, prepping and my own learning), and other outside responsibilities. The information for timetables, independent learning, and tracking the progress of the learners work today really resignated with me today.
The different examples of timetables and must dos/can dos tasks empowers the learners.
I also appreciated the ideas for tracking the learning of the students, where the learner is also able to track their own progress and inform (through spreadsheet, etc) the teacher when they have completed each task. It empowers self management for thy student and creates more time for teacher to work in depth with small groups, and/or individual student.
Reading programme can integrate into other currucular. Planning also involves links to other curricular, and this session extended on ways to further improve this for my practice.
I have also enjoyed the different activities that encouraged our own awareness of each area that was covered today. This has helped me to retain a lot of the information.
Thank you for the information on 'INFERENCE'
