Next Steps

Next steps:

The Flexible Learner

Integrate blogging into my PGDE(S) mathematics programme for next session to document students’ engagement with TDT.

Developing and Evaluating Your Teaching

  • Encourage students to think beyond what they need to do to pass their assignment.
  • Flipping the learning and using technology to support this way of delivering content for addition and subtraction and multiplication and division inputs as a trial.
  • Continue to integrate learning and teaching strategies into my inputs in order to model good practice, i.e. ‘walk the talk’.

Assessment and Feedback

  • Make one of the extended questions a formative piece of work (perhaps the symbiotic relationship question) for session 2017-18
  • Get last year’s MA2 students to discuss the assignment with this year’s cohort
  • Encourage the students to engage in an online discussion about the relationship between mathematics and science (using Collaborate).
  • Use a blog to have an online discussion about the symbiotic relationship of mathematics and science.
  • Speak to my colleague about giving verbal feedback using Jing. Think about a suitable trial group to work with.
  • Float an idea with MA and PGDE Programme Directors about moderating feedback – give staff written comments only and get them to assign a grade to the criteria, given the GRCs, and see if they come up with the same as the original marker.
  • Cross-marking – could this be the sole responsibility of the Module Leader – it then gives them a quality assurance overview of their marker’s comments and grading.
  • Look at Socrative more closely and ForAllRubrics.
