January February March April May Facilitate Independent Learning by Research Field Trip Focus on Multimedia Presentations & Parent Teacher Meeting Project Work in Groups Revision Sheets & Exams TIMELINE
Challenges and Solutions The administration may object to let the classes go for the field work The multimedia may not be available for our section Unforeseen holidays may delay my action plan to be fulfilled within a limited period of time Some students may take extra time to understand. I will talk to the administration and convince them I will make a schedule according to multimedia availability I will take zero periods to complete my planned work I will take ELSC classes to give them more time
Conclusion With good planning, an organized facilitation can be executed in order to encourage students to utilize their best potential so as to achieve success
