25 Nov Session 2

Speaking and Listening
We begin the session by inviting our participants to lay down ground rules for their teams in the spirit of LC where teachers take ownership of their own learning. In addition we also introduce the KWL technique to check for understanding. We invite each teacher to state what they Know, what they Want to learn from us and later, what they have Learnt at the end of the session. This technique is useful to check for understanding as well as to identify teachers' needs and wants in order for us to align our lesson plan to their learning needs.
During our debrief today, we reflect on the day's session and identify our strengths and areas for improvement. We also go through tomorrow's lesson especially what the facilitators will have to do. We recognise that we need to improve on our instruction delivery to suit the needs of our participants. Although we support each segment with scaffolding, we also realise that we need to model what we expect our participants to do.
