How would you evaluate the input of teachers
in this discussion in term of their perceptions
about their pupils' understandings and the solutions
they suggest to ensure that their pupils are
able to learn this topic?
Exchange ways in which you personally attempt
to take account of the pupils' conceptions, misconceptions
and their prior learning when planning your lessons.
How do these considerations help you to plan
the content and teaching strategies used in your
lessons?
Or, if you do not usually consider these issues
by yourself or with your colleagues:
- What difficulties can result from not focusing
attention on understanding pupils' learning
difficulties, as a starting point for lesson
planning? List five such difficulties that
you would want to discuss in a lesson conference.
- What would be a suitable time in your normal
school day to meet with your colleagues and
discuss your lessons, as happens in this particular
school?
Are there reasons why this kind of collaborative
planning is possible in some schools but not in
others?
