Key Points for Teachers
- We want the pupils to be excited about writing in their journals – it is a free space for them to make their thinking visible in a creative and non-restrictive way.
- Initially, pupils may need some support modelling how the journals ‘can’ be used – encourage the use of drawings, mind maps, labels, writing etc.
- It can be useful to show them some of the work samples in the teacher resources section of the website.
- It is important that pupils know that their journals are being monitored regularly. While I do not advocate correcting them in the formal sense, the comment section, and informal conversations, can be a valuable way of providing feedback.
- When we notice mistakes/misconceptions in the journals, we can record these in our own notes, and adapt our teaching to support the learner. It is important for us, and the pupils, that we see mistakes as learning opportunities and not failures.
- The Primary Mathematics Curriculum reminds us that: “During the mathematical learning process, assessment is likely to occur incidentally, intuitively and in response to contingency moments i.e. unplanned and unexpected responses from the child.” (Page 37).
