week 5 Monitoring

 I have been working very closely with the students as the exam date is getting closer and closer. This week my main focus was on time management within the exam environment. I am planning to set time and see if they are able to finish on time.

Here is the update for last week. Two students have returned from sickness and I am still trying to follow up with one other learner who has not been attending. 

My learners have been working hard after school and Saturday classes. I am trying my best to motivate them as it is not easy to balance school work, extra curricular activities and other commitments. My hunch is I am able to encourage students to study hard by explaining that doing well in this exam could let them get an endorsement. 

Birthday celebration

Inquiry question 5/1

Algebra(As91026)- I divided my class into two groups (external group and internal group) as mentioned in my previous blog. Throughout the holiday classes I was teaching, listening and marking practice tests. From this, 

I identified three priority learning areas for students. The three areas are indicated on the flow chart with the

 respective implementation strategies.

This is the last term of teaching, mock exams are in week 7 and the MCAT exam is in week 8. It is paramount that 

I am able to implement effective strategies to improve these priority areas. I am confident that continual check ins 

on well being, practicing literacy strategies, focusing on time management (as this is an one hour examination) 

and harnessing technology to prepare lessons (work space, google jam-board and online teaching etc) will bring 

a better achievement to my learners. Link

I will keep records of my learners' progress using a weekly progress sheet.
