Feedback from peers

I have recently had a colleague through my classroom specifically to view POGIL.  This is the feedback that she gave me.  

Hi Sarah,

Thanks again for the opportunity to see your maths programme in action on Thursday 4^th June.

All the students in your class were on task and engaged in their learning. The students I spoke to could verbalise their learning and the reason for this.  They explained to me that following a pre-test, they then identified their own learning needs; learning that needed to be reviewed and new learning, in the area of Patterns and Relationships. They explained that POGIL was fun way to learn. A group of students I spoke with agreed that they could support one another with their learning in a group situation. They enjoyed the autonomy provided by the POGIL way of learning, as it gave them greater ownership. They could reflect on their learning using the 4E’s and explained what each of these meant.

Next for me is to trial this method of learning  in my classroom!

I have found it really helpful to have feedback from a person who does not usually see this programme in action as it has reaffirmed for me that I am on the right path.  My next step for my inquiry is to look into how I can effectively help my learners with dyslexia within the POGIL programme.
