Teacher reflections

This section of the planner is intended to focus on the effectiveness of teaching strategies and approaches and how well their implementation supported students with the foundational elements of the unit. These foundational elements include the central idea, identified approaches to learning and the attributes of the learner profile. It is possible that some strategies may not have been as beneficial as they could have been and this reflective exercise is intended to encourage teachers to celebrate what has worked and identify opportunities for future revisions.

The following reflective prompts support in the facilitation of teacher reflections:

• How did the strategies we used throughout the unit help to develop and evidence students’ understanding of the central idea?

• What evidence do we have that students are developing knowledge, conceptual understandings and skills to support the transfer of learning across , between and beyond subjects?

• To what extent have we strengthened transdisciplinary connections through collaboration among members of the teaching team?

• What did we discover about the process of learning that will inform future learning and teaching?
