6. Talk about how it went
Meet to talk about how the strategy from Step 4 went. Discuss and plan how you might adapt or modify your practice.
Questions to guide reflection
- What did we try?
- What happened when we did this? How did the students respond to the strategy? How did the adults experience and respond to the strategy?
- How might we change our practice next time?
- What have we learned about ways to recognise and respond to students’ strengths and interests?
- What did we do differently when we wrote the learning story or learner profile?
- How did the task change our understanding of the student’s strengths and interests?
- What are we going to do next to recognise and respond to our students’ strengths and interests?
