teachers will read and view texts with students in lessons and conduct relevant activities.

Students will learn how to respond to different kinds of texts and conduct peer assessments.

group interaction assessments Compiling ERS Survey Progress Charts

Personal ReflectionsI think these are important: Students are well-informed. Teachers are able to collaborate, share ideas

and support each other. Teachers are willing to try and make

modifications as needed (e.g. in the design of tasks, grouping arrangements, etc). We also learn along the way.

Some flexibility is maintained to suit individual class needs.
