Idea sharing and discussion 1. You walk into the classroom and find your pupils are out of their seats and ignore your instruction to sit down and take out their books. How do you get their attention? 2. You intend to change the seating arrangement from rows to clusters. What issues do you need to consider and why? What should you consider when forming groups? 3. The pupils don’t listen to you and insist on talking when you’re instructing. How do you get their attention? 4. The pupils speak in their native language (L1) in classroom activities. How do you encourage them to use English? When can you as a teacher use the Ss’ L1? 5. The pupils are not working together during group-work. How can you encourage them to work together?

Tom and Jerry What other characters would your students like?

Tom and Jerry Elicit the characters Tom and Jerry using pictures and paste them a small distance apart on the walls. Explain to the class that if they are well behaved and speak English Jerry will move away from Tom. But if they speak too much BM or misbehave Tom will move closer to Jerry. If Tom catches Jerry at any point in the lesson then the students will be given extra homework or given a task which they don’t like. If Jerry escapes by the end of the lesson then the students win a reward e.g. they can play their favourite game, sing a song etc. This should also be played in your TPD sessions with teachers to help monitor BM, mobile phones, late arrivals etc.

Portfolios What is a teaching portfolio? A teaching portfolio is a coherent set of materials, including work samples and reflective commentary on them, compiled by a faculty member to inquire into and represent his or her teaching practice as related to student learning and development.

Portfolios Typically, a teaching portfolio is a dossier that includes selected documentation of your teaching effectiveness and your reflection on your teaching. Why should I build a teaching portfolio?

Portfolios… Demonstrate your educational philosophy. Demonstrate your effectiveness as a teacher. Demonstrate student growth. Allow you to focus your teaching and reflect on it. Allow you to refine and collect best practices. Allow you to share ideas easily with others.
