Liaquat Campus, Hyderabad ACTION PLAN Tariq Haider The City School Liaquat Campus, Hyderabad ENGLISH, GRADE 8th

To implement modern teaching techniques to improve students’ understanding of English Language. Long-term Goal

To encourage students for teamwork as well as individual participation. To upgrade use of efficient resources in the classroom. To get students interested in learning by respecting and listening to everyone's views. Short-term Goals

Instructional Strategies and Tasks I will motivate students to form groups and discuss content that requires creativity. I will provide students with chances to think and learn ‘out of the box’ I will ask questions that would test the pool of ideas of a group, e.g. designing an advertisement. I will allow students to use modern tools to simplify learning, e.g. use of electronic dictionary.

Solutions to Anticipated Challenges Headmistress may not approve of my new methods. Some students may feel shy in group discussions. Parents may show dissatisfaction. I will show an outline of the plan to my Head and highlight the areas that need attention. I will encourage random group formation to keep the situation unbiased. I will have meetings with parents and illustrate the importance for a change.
