Reply To: Lesson 1-5: Question & Discussion

[Deanna Semyon]

As a learning support co-teacher I witness most lessons have a routine of :

homework check with students or teacher at board followed by questions

introduce lesson through examples

teacher led practice

independent practice

At times I have attempted to encourage problem based activities in classrooms. Normally it is only accepted by the content teacher when there is “sufficient time” after lessons are completed. I will acknowledge that the teachers are often surprised at the level of engagement during these activities and will occasionally ask that I identify possible activities for future lessons.
