If you find your wonderings beginning to focus on controlling or changing behaviour, try reframing them in ways that can help you understand that behaviour and allow you to discover what you can do with those new understandings.
(Dana, 2009:67)
Practice-based concern are concerns you might be looking at in your own classroom, or your teaching of something, possibly at the level of an individual.
System-based concern are concerns which focus on things like, how a department organises some of its work, an initiative or how the whole school structures some features.
These are my practice based concerns:
- How can I get students to utilize their study periods effectively?
- What will encourage students to participate evenly when doing group work?
- How can I get students to come to class on time?
- How can I maximize pupil concentration in 2 hour lessons?
- What will encourage pupils to participate in extra-curricular activities?
- How can I maximise student productivity through marking feedback?
- How can I get my pupils to become organised?
- How can I empower students to become self disciplined?
- How can I get students to stop wasting time during coursework lessons?
- Why do pupils drop out of subjects?
These are my System-based concerns:
How can we form more trusting and loyal relationships between teachers?
How can we maximise staff retention?
How can we lower malaise in teachers work ethic?
How can the school facilitate the change in curriculum?
How can teachers peer observation improve practice?
How can the school enable teachers to become more communicative and supportive?
How can we effectively implement a student code of conduct?
How can the school implement an effective student council?
