7. 10%AcKons%to%Educate%Learners%
No Actions Why?
1. Build relationships of mutual respect. Motivation for learning.
2. Teach learners the hidden rules of school. Hidden rules break relationships, and without relationships
learning is decreased.
3. Analyse the resources of your learners, and
make interventions based on resources the
learners have access to.
Interventions do not work if they are based on resources that
are not available.
4. Teach formal register, the language of school
and work.
To understand written text, which is essential for success at
school and work.
5. Teach abstract processes. All learning involves what, why and how. The how piece
must be direct-taught for tasks to be done.
6. Teach mental models. Mental models translate between the abstract
representational world and the sensory concrete world.
7. Teach learners how to plan. To control impulsivity for task completion.
8. Use the adult voice and reframing the change
behaviours.
To maintain relationship and get the appropriate behaviour.
9. Understand the family resources and dynamics. To better understand the resources the child has access to
and better select interventions.
10. Teach how to ask questions. So they can get inside their head and know what they know
and what they don’t know.

• Describe the Content to be taught
• Indicate the Source where information came from
• Identify Other sources where content can be sought from, and consider sources presenting
alternative perspectives, methods, approaches, etc. on the same content
• Indicate the Scope, Depth and Breath of the content to be covered (indicate how long
teaching will take, of the period time)
• Indicate whether Pre-knowledge is necessary
• Indicate whether Pre-engagement from learners is necessary
• Identify the Teaching method [13] (teacher and/or learners centred) to be followed (lecture,
demonstration, tell a story, whole-class discussion, visual display, role play, small group
discussion, visit, project work, library search investigation, practical work, self-study)
• Identify the particular practice of skill to be followed such as Homework – indicate to learners
what the approximate length of time they should take to complete task (ensure a consistent
space where homework assignment is noted in writing). Consider a ‘homework Roster’ for
the class, grade or school. Types of homework (preparation tasks – learners gaining
background information; practice exercises – to apply, review, revise and reinforce new
knowledge; creative homework – learners integrate multiple concepts and develop critical
thinking and problem solving skills, which is open-ended questions and long-term projects with
choice for learners; extension assignments – learners to pursue knowledge individually and
imaginatively, which allows for class work and real world to connect)
• Identify Length of teaching, learning, and formative assessment per lesson and/or per week
• Identify Practical examples, simulations, symbolism, etc. that will be utilised (connect
theory and practice – real life experiences)

• Learning requires processing;
• Questions direct instruction;
• ‘Safe’ to be incorrect, making mistakes, …;
• When struggling learners have to expose
their weakness to get information they need,
they won’t do it!;
• 9 Critical questioning tools:
• deflected questions;
• deflected responses;
• open-ended questions;
• total responses questions;
• response journals or boards;
• interactive notes;
• mutually assured correct responses;
• whole group questions, share, compare, repair in
small groups;
• every point processing.

10.ClassroomLeadership
• How can learners be engaged
meaningfully and effectively beyond active
participation and time-on-task?
• Learners learn better when engaged (shifting
meaning – “sit still and listen”);
• Engage is the extent to which learners are
cognitively, physically and emotionally
connected with what they are doing;
• Level of learner engagement is impacted by
the design and execution of the teaching and
learning activities, strategies and methods;
• From minimum compliance to total
engagement.

10. Classroom Leadership
• How can teachers function as truly inspirational
leaders in their classrooms with their learners
and learner learning?
• Inspire learners to action, to results, to achieve;
• Learning with hope, inspire them to belief in their ability to
turn dreams into reality;
• Speak of possibility;
• Give of themselves, but also take care of themselves;
• Are in tune with the classroom – operate with empathy
and compassion – create joy, fun and sense of belonging
with boundaries and limits;
• Healthy relationship between teacher and learners –
genuine caring and high expectations – won’t let them ‘off
the hook’ – balance between pressure and nurture;
• Best relationships: celebrate achievements; maintain
standards; expect success; demand excellence; coach to
excellence; empower; meet needs; support individually.

• How are on-going, classroom formative and summative
assessment, evaluation, accountability and
documentation developed, maintained and effectively
executed to ensure maximum learner success with
meaningful and challenging targets?
• Concept of assessment might be the most misunderstood concept
in schooling – it is assessment when the marks are changeable!
• Has shifted from a ‘teaching tool’ to a ‘documentation
tool’ (evaluation);
• We can’t fatten cows by weighing them. But we should weigh
them to assess and adjust how we are feeding them until they
meet the ‘fat’ standard.
• Effective teachers use assessment to gather information in order
to determine what next steps are necessary to ensure the learners
meet the desired standards and outcomes;
• Teaching process: explain what is to be learned; explain why
success in learning is important; model what is to be learned; ask
a friend to see how well the learning is happening; provide
additional modeling; one more time see how well you can do it;
repeat last two steps until satisfied and then get tested! 59!

• How can we effectively prepare learners to
succeed in the tests and/or examinations?
• Most teachers focus on teaching the curriculum rather than
ensuring that learners learn well;
• Written, Taught and Assessed curriculum;
• Test scores are actually a reflection on us more than the
learners;
• Only a portion of content we teach is likely to be of long-term
importance;
• What learners know is more important than How much they
know;
• Choose how much of time is used for teaching;
• Choose how much emphasis – push heavily and gloss over;
• Different assessment methods in terms of the levels of Bloom;
• When using multiple choice, true-false and matching
assessment methods, ensure that learners are not ‘guessing’
correctly/wrongly – ensure sound argument supporting their
determination, as well as why each distractor is incorrect;

• How do we ensure that we teach real life
lessons to learners, that they might not get it
right the first time, but mastery is important?
• In the real world, almost every activity, apart from life-
threatening events, allow for a second chance – drivers
license (How many of you have failed your drivers license
test? How many times? Are those people who got their
license first, better drivers than you?);
• Second chance opportunities are invested with real learning;
• But second chance opportunities must make a difference;
• Should be the ownership of the learner, not the teacher;
• Technology gives us the opportunity to generate second
chance opportunities;
• It has to be built into the learning system of the school;
• The worry that SCO will be used and abused by learners is
unfounded, although any new system will go through
challenges during introduction phase.!

15. Grades, Marks, Targets, etc.
• Track the progress of the learners on a regular
basis;
• Must attach a verbal explanation to grades –
Learner Feedback Sheet (to learners) and Teacher
Feedback Sheet (to HoDs);
• Ensure that ‘grading’ means something between
different teachers, and subjects;
• Grades must be ‘tools for learners’ and not for
teachers;
• Work on a “value added” approach to grading
(AYP);
• Ensure an efficient and effective Recording Keeping
system;
• Grades are ‘a moments reflection’ of what a learner
knew, at a particular time, given a particular test – it
does not represent the ‘worth’ of the learners. 63!
72. Lets plan for 2016:
What do we need to do?
1. Map the school days;
2. Identify the holidays;
3. Identify a maximum of 29 days that
could be utilised for ‘administrative’
and/or examination days;
4. Be the guardian of the 170 days
for teaching and learning.

74. Group work:
• A file will be given to each group,
on which you need to work;
• Now, reduce the 199 days for
‘schooling’ to 170 days for
‘teaching and learning’;
• If you can’t get to 170 days, identify
the activities that prevent you from
‘securing’ 170 days.
