Unit 210 1.1
As a teaching assistant your teacher may involve you in the planning of a lesson, she will tell you what the lesson is about and who they want you to work with.
When the teacher is planning the lesson you should have the opportunity to discuss and look at pupils work with the teacher, this is called review. Review is when you can look to see if the work that has been set has been done and if the child has understood what has been asked of them. It would be a good idea to walk around the classroom to see if the children are doing the work correctly, making notes and to let the teacher know, then you can discuss this and give feedback if there has been any problems, then the teacher will be able to plan the next lesson and try to resolve these problems.
The cycle of planning is - PLANNING, TEACHING, LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT, REVIEW
When a teacher is planning her lessons it could be long term planning which is yearly, medium term planning which is term time or short term planning which is weekly or daily planning of lessons.
You should know the learning objectives so that you understand what is expected of the children. Some teachers may ask you for ideas on the lesson of how to help or improve the lesson for example if you are good in a certain subject.
You will need to work with the teacher so you understand the work you are covering, especially with activities and topics that have been planned.
Sometimes you may not be asked about planning a lesson, but still speak to the teacher to see if you could suggest something of your own for the planning of the lesson.
When the lesson has finished it would be an idea to discuss the learning activities and any success in the learning objectives, and to discuss if the learning objectives have been achieved.
If this has not been achieved it would be a good idea to make a note of this, but on the other
