TP Task 3 – Planning for Learning

This task is linked to EPR3703: instructional strategies and planning for assessment. It asks you to take on an
active role in planning and preparing for active learning environments. This task requires you to meet and
interview your MST to discover his/her planning process. Provide a diagram illustrating the sequence of steps
taken and accompany your text with actual pictures of her process.

What is the planning cycle?

According to my MST, she plans only for English subject along with another teacher. Thus, their
planning is conducted every Wednesday afterschool.

Place your MST’s planning diagram below with words and pictures.

If you could make suggestions and change her lesson cycle, what would the new one look like?

I would add role plays sessions once a week. This because, according to my observations teachers focus on
writing and writing more than learning in a fun way. When students are exposed to role plays, they would
improve many essential skills that would make them effective learners.
