Action plan MS.ERUM ABID DAPS SEAVIEW HISTORY, GRADE 6
LONG TERM GOAL • Adopt 21st century teaching approaches to enhance and build interest in students for appreciation of History and Geography.
Short term goals • I would change my questioning strategy with the students to promote their critical thinking ability. • For any research work or any good outcome for students they would be encouraged rather than just being praised , that would play a role of motivation for other students. • More research based tasks will be given to students in form of groups. • this would develop the habit of working together and helping each other.
Instructional strategies and tasks • I will provide more opportunities for students to answer questions that require high-order thinking. • I will provide students with time for group discussions, • I will asks questions that require students to give their answers with logics and proves. • Students will be allowed to gather randomly in assigned groups or pair to discuss from where and how they have collected their information.
How I would face the possible challenges Challenges • My head may not agree with this new approach. • Parents may also raise objection on this new way of teaching they might not understand it • I will have to make myself more computer literate • Students might create problem while working in a group Sollutions • I will discuss and share all my notes and information with my principle • A news letter will be sent to parents to inform them about this new method • I will sit in my school computer lab to learn the computer skills in my free time • They will be grouped randomly
