Task overview

INTRODUCTION –

 

For your students, your Technologies classroom could become a place where all students feel safe, equal and valued. This reflection encourages an analysis of differentiation strategies to showcase of how teachers can intentionally utilise strategies for inclusion to encourage positive behaviour, and influence success in the classroom.

 

Write a reflection that critically discusses strategies for: inclusion, differentiation or classroom routines. Your reflection must reference modalities of adjustments; CONTENT, PROCESS, PRODUCT or LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, linking examples of your own (future/current) teaching to illustrate your approach with further references to support.

 

Instructions

In this assessment, you will reference two modalities of adjustments (two of: content, process, product or learning environment), and justify how they could be utilised to differentiate teaching outcomes. You will need to justify using research/data to SHOW how adjustments that would suit diverse learners to success in your specific subject.

 

Suggested structure:

  1. Introduction: curriculum context and scope, what you teach/subject, and what are the specifics that should be known for this reflection; eg students year
  2. Differentiation Adjustment 1: quick overview of the modality of adjustment, what you are teaching (exact outcomes), instructional details (how you are teaching it), reflect how this adjustment meets the needs of (diverse) learners, justification of why this strategy best suits the learning for students AND include links to research to enhance your writing.
  1. Differentiation Adjustment 2: quick overview of the modality of adjustment, what you are teaching (exact outcomes), instructional details (how you are teaching it), reflect how this adjustment meets the needs of (diverse) learners, justification of why this strategy best suits the learning for students AND include links to research to enhance your writing.
  1. Conclusion: wrap up your reflection by referring back to your chosen strategies and points made (not new ones) and linking to the introduction.

 

As part of your writing:

 

Include reference to students needs such as (but not limited to): numeracy and literacy supports, identified learning needs (NCCD), cultural and linguistic diversity.

EDUC2006 Sample A1

 EDUC2006 - 1 This sample introduction provides a contextual background that describes the subject that will be referenced in this reflection.

 

Could be improved by:

–          Too many specifics are included that are not related to the task, hours, pathways, module details – these are not required.

–          Using formal language “I am” in replace of I’m and, deleting first line (not required and starts as passive voice).

–          Citations not correct (Board of Studies, 2008)

–          Always capitalising where appropriate – eg:

Year 9 and Technologies
EDUC2006 - 2 Read the first paragraph aloud, there is a good understanding of the synopsis of the podcast, as only one media is referenced, it is presented as a description of the podcast, not a critical discussion.

 

Could be improved by:

–          Quotation marks “Podcast name” not required.

–          No citations for references

–          Descriptions that are not linked with a curriculum/subject examples, strategies are generally described.
EDUC2006 - 3 Clear understanding of two resources (video and podcast), connections of SIMILARITIES are made between them in a critical discussion.

Great examples of what they would do in classroom – specific and easy to follow “for example. . .”

 

Could be improved by:

–          Capitalisation required for course and full name should be used

–          Examples could be taken FURTHER and extended with additional research/citations, only the suggested resources are used.
