The following forms I created for use in and out of the classroom to help me stay organised. All thanks to Mac’s iWork 2008 set of software!
This was created to help me direct an interview with parents more effectively. Then instead of walking away abd forgetting what I had discussed this was to remind me of what I had learnt from the parents and any ideas that would help me teach their child more effectively.
This was created for me to document difficult behaviour and find effective ways to prevent it, as well as inform the particular students’ parents. It was quite helpful at times for the student to receive feedback on their own behaviour after each lesson – as long as it was constructive, with a positive focus.
This form I devised in conjuction with the NSW Institute of Teacher’s Teaching Standards. I used it at the end of each term for my students to evaluate my programs and teaching methods. They became accustomed to the language used and provided detailed and helpful feedback that helped me teach them more effectively.
