Embedded Files
Welcome to 2023!
Here's what you need to do during Department PPRC.
Summarised recap of the various time segments in a lesson.
1) Non-instructional time (administrative time - e.g. collect books, check files)
2) Instructional time (teacher talk only - e.g. lecture, direct instruction)
3) Student engaged time (students doing work only - e.g. seat work, drill and practice)
4) Interactive instructional time (discussion between teacher and students - e.g. student clarifying a concept with the teacher)
Task
We're going to do the task using 'Think-Pair-Share'
1) Individually, *reflect on one of your lesson or a common issue or flipped learning.
(If you've done it in your PPCR, you may proceed to the next step.)
2) Share with your colleague next to you (if your dept is small) or within your table (if your dept is large).
3) Share with the rest of your department. (One of the pair or One from each table)
4) Spend the last 5 minutes to update your PPCR (row 14 under the immediate Post-Course Review)
*You can refer to the previous discussions from the School PPRC.
Reflect on a lesson
a) What could you have done or done more … in the context of time management.
b) What were the challenges that prevented you to do so?
c) What are some practices, structures or tools to help you manage the time better in the future?
A Common issue
The lesson period is shortened, from 45 minutes to 40 minutes, due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g. late release from previous lesson).
a) How do you adjust the lesson time (administrative time, instructional time, student engaged time, interactive instructional time.)? Which time segment should you try to 'protect' or avoid reducing?
b) For the time segments which are reduced, what are the implications and what are some possible workarounds?
c) What are some practices, structures or tools that could help you to adjust in the future?
For those who are doing Flipped Learning
a) With the context of the various time segments, describe your structure of your flipped learning (e.g. choice of materials for students to access outside class).
b) Can each of the time segments be flipped? What are some of the potential issues?
For those who want to try Flipped Learning but afraid
go to some tips about Flipped Learning and have a good laugh after watching the videos.
Key thing is that there are many colleagues who are willing to help you! So be brave!
