NATIONAL CURRICULUM ASSESSMENT POLICY STATEMENT NATIONAL ORIENTATION WORKSHOP FOR LANGUAGES Subject Information Classroom management & Planning GRADES 4 –

NATIONAL CURRICULUM ASSESSMENT POLICY STATEMENT I’m not good at future planning, I don’t plan at all. I don’t plan at all. I don’t know what I’m doing tomorrow. I don’t have a day planner and I don’t have a diary. I completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future- Heath Ledger Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now – Alan Lakein Those who plan do better than those who do not plan even though they rarely stick to their plan - Winston Churchill

What is classroom management -What do we mean by classroom management? Who is responsible for classroom management? Who should take the lead? -Our aim is to create a classroom that is characterised by a sustained, successful, and purposeful collaborative learning environment. The question is what are the factors that make the classroom conducive for learning and teaching? 3

The teacher & classroom management - Classroom management is closely linked to the roles of the teacher. - One of the most important tasks of the teacher is to manage learning in the classroom and to make appropriate managerial decisions in the classroom. - Planning is a prerequisite for successful and effective classroom management; management that will make optimal learning possible. 4

Activity -Planning enables the teacher to avoid inappropriate learner behaviour by organising the classroom and materials so that the physical environment is conducive to learning. -Activity: Discuss the text on page 104/5 -State what you think about the texts. 5

From Lesson plan to classroom management -Even if the lesson plan is of good quality, it will not help much if it is not well-executed in the classroom - we shall have a look at issues that impact on successful implementation of a lesson plan in class. - This will include managing and using learning space, managing and using resources and managing people at classroom level. 6

From Lesson plan to classroom management -This will include : managing and using learning space, managing and using resources and managing people at classroom level. 7

Learning space 8

Activity 1 Having looked at the picture: How would you describe this teaching and learning space? Is it conducive to teaching and learning? Does it suit your subject? How could one bring about improvement? 9

Managing and using learning space Grouping by ability: Learners of similar ability may be put into one group. Grouping for mixed ability: avoids the problems of labelling and underperformance. Grouping when the need arises: a number of learners have the same problem Grouping according to friendship: allow the learners to choose their own groups 10

Activity Look at the following lessons and decide what type of grouping you would use in each lesson: Indicate the grouping strategy to use in each lesson ability, mixed ability, need or friendship. Learning new spelling words Doing word problems in maths Painting a group picture Reading aloud Studying a locust Follow up spelling lesson when you want to go over some special spelling problems 11

Managing and using resources 12

managing people at classroom level Discipline- Learning? 13

Misbehaving learners: why? The child wants to be accepted by peers. Possibly the child is too young and does not know any better. Is the child frustrated or bored? Learners may be cheating to avoid being punished or because they do not like to make mistakes. There may be problems at home which means the child does not concentrate at school. If there is poor discipline at home, the learners may treat the teacher with the same lack of respect as his parents. The child may be having to do piece work after school if his/her family has money problems and this would mean he/she cannot do homework and could be very tired at school. 14

Activity 1: Planning Instructions: Duration: 60 minutes Participants study the Gr. 4-6 annual teaching plan in the CAPS : o What levels of planning are necessary from here? o How does the content help in designing an annual teaching plan? o How does the content progress from Grade 4 to Grade 5 o How does the 36 week planning assist in teaching, learning and assessment in the classroom?

Activity 1: Planning (continued) o Is content presented in the correct order? o Are the listed LTSM/resources relevant? o What are the requirements for the Teacher File? o Report Back and Discussion Resources: CAPS

SUMMARY OF PLANNING Planning is important and necessary. It should be done for accountability to parents, officials and other stakeholders. A proper annual teaching plan gives teachers a plan in terms of content, resources, assessment and completion time. Proper classroom management is necessary in order to achieve better performance.

SUMMARY OF PLANNING The suggested teaching plans are based on two-week integrated cycles with approximately 9 (HL & FAL) & 8 (SAL) teacher-contact hours per cycle. When designing an integrated two-week cycle, the teacher may cluster activities around a topic / theme (e.g. Working World) (see suggested themes in SAL), an issue (e.g. climate change), a setwork, a skill from the curriculum (e.g. debate, argumentative writing, argument structures), or a text. The sequence of lessons in a two-week cycle can follow any order (e.g. a cycle might start with reading and progress to discussion (speaking), which is followed by writing). Either the setwork text (where appropriate) or another text can be used for the activities. Sample teaching plans are packaged so that every two weeks learners o participate in a listening and speaking exercise; o read a comprehension passage and answer questions or develop a summary; o read literature; o write an essay and/or a transactional piece; and o develop and practise knowledge of language structures and conventions for communicative purposes (speaking, listening, reading, and writing). Teachers should design their teaching plans / work schedules (or use/adapt the one from their textbooks) to teach the content per term using any appropriate sequence and pace. 18

Teacher File What is the importance of a teacher file? Each teacher must keep a single file for planning and moderation purposes. What are the essential requirements of a teacher file? The file must consist of: Annual teaching plan / work schedule Assessment Plan Formal Assessment Tasks and memoranda / rubrics

Teacher File (continue) Indication of Textbook(s) and any other resources to be used Record sheets containing learners’ marks for each formal assessment task Any intervention that is planned by the teacher to assist learners especially those who are experiencing barriers to learning.
