Know students and how they learn
Practice
Learning names. Engaging in conversations to build rapport and find out more about the learners; their strengths and interests.
Researching cultures and nationalities such as Bundjalung and asking students about their heritage. Seeking advice about individiuals' needs. Engaging with information about student testing to help inform teaching techniques.
Examples
1.3 Students with diverse linguistic, cultural, religious and socioeconomic backgrounds
Design and implement teaching strategies that are responsive to the learning strengths and needs of students from diverse linguistic, cultural, religious and socioeconomic backgrounds.
A one session challenge to design a food service business, considering the focus, menu, and graphic design and packaging.
This student really engaged with this activity celebrating his love of native food and Bundjalung cuisine, creating a restaurant called Dreamtime.
He used Aboriginal symbols to start his packaging design and expressed further ideas for his interiors and branding.
1.5 Differentiate teaching to meet the specific learning needs of students across the full range of abilities
Develop teaching activities that incorporate differentiated strategies to meet the specific learning needs of students across the full range of abilities.
I created this learning activity resource during the 2020 lockdown, so that students could engage with learning at home, in their own way. The resource is a matrix that combines the levels of SOLO/Blooms taxonomy and Gardner's Multiple intelligences.
