Teaching as Inquiry; Teacher reflection

15/06/2012

1. The data that I used to inform my planning was

Running records, observations during lesson

2. It showed me that

Students have difficulty decoding words, particular difficulty with word endings and vowel combinations

3. The purpose of the lesson was

Practice our known decoding strategies

4. The Learning Intention was

Decode difficult words as we read

5. The success criteria were

When we can use one of our strategies to decode a word using one of our strategies.

6. A brief description of the teaching I did is

Modelled reading with fluency and expression. Executed strategies with example words. Students practice. Helped implement strategies.

7. I checked on what the students were learning by

Asking them what strategy that they used to work out a difficult word

8. I noticed that

Students can can explain and execute several key decoding strategies

9. I think I need to change

How I use my modeling book

10. I need support with

How to set it out - asked AT and she suggested copying what I do for Maths.

11. For next lesson I really need to focus on

Arranging my modeling book more logically.

12. The strategies I will use to do this are

Setting it out like my maths modeling books
