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 how teacher aide support can enhance inclusive practice?
- To what extent are we enhancing inclusion in the classroom?
- What are we going to do next to encourage all our students to contribute and participate?
