Evidence of Planning and Assessing for Effective Learning and Effective Communication
This lesson demonstrates my ability to integrate Key Learning Areas (English & PDHPE), reflecting my understanding of the ability to program effective lessons in the context of the crowded curriculum. This lesson also reflects my ability to plan opportunities for; assessment for learning and assessment of learning. In this lesson, assessment for learning involves students developing indepth understanding of a change through interacting with the 'Thinking Hats Framework.' Assessment of learning takes place over two lessons, students are required to use their knowledge from the unit to create a poster which assists individuals their age in dealing with a key change. Students are assessed on a number of PDHPE and English outcomes, and also have the opportunity to interact with technology through the use of Kidspiration software.
