Annotated exemplars:
There are two distinct types of learners in my class: those with an external focus and those who concentrate solely on internal aspects. The externally focused learners tend to be motivated by outside factors, such as grades, feedback, or peer recognition. These learners work in pairs at different stages of their learning process, which allows them to collaborate and share ideas as they progress.
However, I found it challenging to meet the diverse needs of all students, especially given their varying levels of ability and the different stages at which they are working. To address this, I took the initiative to create detailed exemplars in the workbook and past papers. These exemplars served multiple purposes: they helped me better understand each learner's specific requirements and provided a clear, annotated guide for students to follow.
By designing these exemplars, I was able to encourage peer teaching based on their ability levels—whether they were achieving at an Achievement/Merit/Excellence level. This method allowed students to teach and learn from one another in a structured way, tailored to their individual capabilities.
The result has been very positive. The annotated exemplars have become a valuable resource, making the learning process more accessible and understandable for all students. This approach not only helps them grasp the material more effectively but also fosters a collaborative learning environment where students are actively engaged in helping each other succeed.
