As an active class teacher, my lesson structure is similar to a standard in classroom lesson structure with personalization and adaptation to meet the needs of the individual child I am teaching . I start by doing some AFL (assessment for learning) gauging the child's previous understanding of a subject and where there may be gaps. From this point, I decide on where to pitch the learning. I then move on to my teacher exposition introducing the new learning, at this point, I continue to question the child as I model to assess there understanding. I then give the child an opportunity to complete an independent task while I monitor there progress. If needed I will complete a mini plenary with the child based on how difficult they find the independent task. If they find the task difficult I will use the mini plenary for further clarification and modeling. If they are able to complete the task without support I will introduce a more challenging task or reasoning and problem solving opportunity to apply there learning. I will end the lesson with a plenary task. I use the plenary to apply the learning to different contexts or for the child to complete a more open ended task. I will the teaching of each subject area by outlining how the child can consolidate there learning independently and outlining expectations for homework that needs to be completed before the next lesson. Where I feel the child is confident in area of the learning I will introduce them to new learning to complete as homework ready for the next lesson.
