Once you have experimented with some modelling strategies yourself, use the questions below to review your experience.
- What worked well? How did your learners respond to your modelling strategies?
- How did you help learners to apply the strategies you modelled?
- Which elements of your modelling could you detect in your learners’ work?
- How well did your learners’ work match the expected outcomes?
- Were there any problems? If so, what could you do to overcome them next time?
Select the Resource button below to access a practical assignment review which illustrates how you might choose to evaluate your modelling approach.
With colleagues, identify a year group and decide on a few framework objectives where you think modelling would help your learners. Plan with colleagues the form that this modelling might take in order to maximise learners’ progress.
- Decide on what exactly needs to be modelled to help language learning. How could this be done?
- With a colleague plan some peer observation of lessons where you will try out modelling strategies and give one another constructive feedback.
- Adapt schemes of work to incorporate examples of modelling. It is important to share good practice.
It is recommended that you view other units in this series particularly, Planning lessons, Thinking skills, Starters, Assessment for learning and Literacy.
