 |
|
I'm at a public school and have to teach an open class next month with my co-teacher. It seems like the vice-principle is hardly going to be happy with anything, and everyone, as usual, is over-stressing the whole affair.
Anyway, we have been specifically asked to include a guide on how to teach to diffeent levels students as part of our plan. It's a elementary school - grade 5. Any ideas?
Thanks. |

Start up with some kind of presentation use lots of PPT.
Put them in groups and have them do seperate activities according to their level. Both teachers should circulate around the groups helping them.
Finally have one member from each group present their answers |

there was a thread about this not too long ago... I'd advise you to look it up, ESPECIALLY Easter's Clark example of your "typical" open class.
that said.. I'm not sure why you are stressing. Frankly, it's up to your Korean co-teacher to lesson plan the class, etc. Play along and offer any suggestions/advice and offer to help him/her in the process, but it's really up to them.
I have one coming up in less than three 3 weeks and am not going to stress about it, though I am not particularly happy with the class my Korean teacher chose to do it with (because I don't have a good feeling for it, but SHE does - so I respect her judgment).
She's already typed up the lesson plan/activities and it looks pretty good to me, far better than anything I'd come up with, but then she just graduated from teaching school and knows EXACTLY what these bureaucrats want when coming to view such classes. (and it involves stuff like interactive presentation, aka powerpoint, group work, game/fun activity. etc)
Obviously the kids will have be pre-taught with lots of practice involved. At least two lessons, probably more like three or four.
When they were told they'd be an open class, they all groaned and said WHY US? |

thanks for the help. I'm not stressing - it's my co-teacher. She gets completely over worked - and i feel like i get away with doing nothing. I'm just trying to help her out cuz she's had her plan rejected a few times by them damn beaurocrats !!
i tried looking up that other thread but can't find it - any chance of a link?! |
