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 might we change our practice to make it more effective in future?
- What have we learned about supporting the learning of all students?
- What did we notice about student learning when the teacher shared their planning for a lesson and modelled strategies with the teacher aide?
- What was the effect on learning of using a wider range of ways of working with the students?
