10. Consensus 21 November 2009

[Kerala University English Teacher Educator’s Forum - KUETEF]

During the after noon session of the meeting held on 21 November 2009 the members arrived at the following consensus.

• ‘Lesson Plan’ written during Practice Teaching by the trainees will be renamed ‘Teaching Manual’

• Will discontinue the writing of Self Reflection as a separate paragraph after each Teaching Manual. Instead the trainee will enter Self Reflection in the Teaching Practice Diary.

• For writing the CO for each Plan mention should be made of the Issue/ Sub issue and the Learning Objectives mentioned for each unit in the Source Book

• The Second Column of Discussion Lessons, Criticism Lessons and Teaching Manual will be renamed ‘Assessment’.

• For Discussion Lessons the trainees shall write the anticipated response in the Second Column.

• During Criticism lessons and Practice Teaching the second column will remain blank when the trainee enters the class. After the class the trainee will reflect on the learner (quantitative and qualitative), strategy and material used and enter the assessment

• The third column will have the title Theory/Principles & Approaches
