Dear Readers,

NCF plays an important role in securing your success in teaching exams like CTET 2018 Exam, DSSSB 2018 Exam. Keeping in view the importance of NCF, today we are sharing a post on Time for Reflection and Planning. Read the article for your sure success in upcoming CTET 2018 Exam. 

Time for Reflection and Planning:

• On a daily basis (at least 45 minutes) to review the day, make notes on children to follow up the next day, and organise materials for the next day's lessons (this is in addition to the 99 time that they may need to correct homework). 

• On a weekly basis (at least two/three hours) to take stock of learning, to work out details of activities and projects proposed, and to plan a group of lessons (unit) for the coming week. 

• On a monthly/term basis (minimum of one day) to review their own work, children’s learning, and map the contours of the learning activities planned for the groups they teach.

• At the beginning and the end of the year, two or three days each need to be allocated to evolve an annual plan for the school, in which they locate activities such as local holidays, annual events (national events, sports days, cultural events) and days for parent-teacher meetings that would involve the whole school. They would also plan excursions and field trips for their class groups, and for any projects that two or more classes would do together. They would also be involved in activities of preparing the school and class environment, putting up and changing posters and displays, organising children’s work, etc. Such planning time is also essential for the school to review its relationship with the community, and identify points of focused action in the year such as enrolment, retention, school attendance and school achievement. 

• Current in-service training-related time allocation (compulsory 20 days per year) could be partly diverted towards making time available for such reviewing, reflecting and planning.

• Monthly meetings organised for teachers at the cluster level could be based on groups of teachers teaching similar subjects and grade levels so that they can share ideas and plan to teach for the forthcoming month together.
