Summary

Reflective practice is part of the Department for Education’s Teachers’ Standards. As part of the section titled, “Plan and teach well-structured lessons”, teachers are required to “reflect systematically on the effectiveness of lessons and approaches to teaching”.

My Cohort - Post 16 GCSE English Resits

National Association for the Teaching of English

Experience of Teaching GCSE English Language (a) Responses to ‘My experience of teaching GCSE English Language is rewarding’:

A startling 54% of respondents disagreed that teaching GCSE English Language was rewarding – with only 3% strongly believing that it is rewarding.

What have I reflected on

1 - Motivation Level

Low to negligble.

2 - Learner Engagement

Engagement inconsistant and influenced by activities, tasks and sequence of lesson plan

3 - Learning Outcomes

Comparative techniques, language features, critical thinking, vocabulary, relevance, context

Punctuality and attendance

4- Irratic attendance causing further disruptions to motication and learning outcomes.

Reasons for Low Motivation

✨ Lessons not adapted for the diverse learning levels and needs

Lesson plans, tasks and activities not engaging enough

Fear associated with past failure

Absence of context to real-world experiences

Student A​ “Lessons feel monotonous. I come away with some new fact that add a bit of extra information to what I did not know before,which is useful. But at other times I feel I have not gained a lot because none of the information was relevant to me. I was bored reading a text from Victorian times and comparing it to another from modern times because it made no sense or seem useful in any way.

Student B​ The lessons at the beginning of the term were great, but I’ve found it repetitive and boring. I would enjoy learning much more if they were activities and tasks that needed me to use the facts in many different ways as this would reinforce the concept of the fact. This would be more interesting, would motivate me more, inspire me more , whereas now I just get bored and don’t get excited about learning new facts and information.

Co-Worker Lens

Peer A​ “Capture the educational potential of new technologies! This will elevate the quality and pace of teaching and learning and reduce challenging behaviour.”​ Peer B​ “Keep a record of learners’ accomplishments beyond the classroom. Make a note of their learning needs and styles from their wider academic activities so lessons can be adapted consistently for each individual”​ Peer C​ “Develop and document strategy for working with individual students or specific student groups (as is relevant to my case).”

According to Shulman(1987)”Being a strong subject-expert is crucial but not sufficient in relation to his notion of “pedagogical content knowledge”. Teachers need to enable students to learn in their discipline. ​

Shulman(1987)”Being a strong subject-expert is crucial but not sufficient in relation to his notion of “pedagogical content knowledge”. Teachers need to enable students to learn in their discipline.

Academic learning time – time spent actively and successfully involved in learning – is strongly related to achievement. (Fisher et al, 1980).​

(Fisher and others, 1980).

McLean argues that “teachers need to conceptualise learning as a complex process of interpretation and attempts at meaning making, as opposed to a process of transmission of knowledge from the teacher to the student.”

“Really consider the value of activities delivered and how they will help students progress in the long term. Look beyond how quiet they were and look at whether what they did actually resulted in them learning.”

One of the most commonly measured indicators of motivation is persistence (Keller, 1983: Schunk, 1991)​

Human motivation is based on the pursuit of different levels of needs.

Action Plan

Lesson Plan

AQA GCSE Eng;ish Scheme of WOrk, Suggested resources,

Structure, Sequence, Technology Integration,

Referred to online teaching support sites like Exampro and Educake that provides ready made reading and comprehension tests.

Collaboration with learner's vocational teachers to develop content.

Lessons adapted to diversity

Learning needs, levels, socio-cultural diversity, neuro-diversity

Relevance to Real-World Examples

Content adapted to real-world current events and context Eg Using interests of learners to generate activities and tasks ( football, AI gaming, social media etc)

Changes Actioned...

  • Adapted technology to create engaging and subject specific resources/activities and tasks to address academic and personal orientation.
  • Challenging behaviour addressed holistically with confidence and positivity. Eg Phone policy published, explicitly communicated and managed consistently.
  • Managed absenteeism through mentoring learners, offering blended learning options which has increased attendance by 60 per cent since the start of the academic year in 2023.
  • Teacher student interactions less fractious due to collaborative approach to teaching and learning. eg innovative lesson plans, Think-Pair-Share, Group Discussions, Jigsawstrategy. (Cuseo, 1996)

Resources Used to Enhance Motivation

Other Reflective Exercise - Gibbs Reflective Cycle

Description – describing the experience Feelings – emotions and thoughts about the experience Evaluation – about what worked well, what did others contribute, what was missing. Analysis – in order to make sense of the experience, why did something work well or not Conclusion – what was learned as a result and what could be improved. Action Plan – how to deal with this situation in the future. How to develop the skills and abilities to act differently next time.
