Ms. Sana Dabeer Senior Girls PECHS Mathematics, level 10 Action Plan Ms. Sana Dabeer Senior Girls PECHS Mathematics, level 10

Long-term Goal Adopt 21st century teaching approaches to build deep conceptual understanding in mathematics.

Short-term Goals Encourage students to achieve learning goals by forming collaborative groups or peer. Cultivate the trend of discussion, sharing, listening when others are speaking and being responsible for one’s own learning.

Use of Bloom’s Taxonomy (The Incredible Teaching Tool) The hierarchy of Bloom's Taxonomy is the widely accepted framework through which all teachers should guide their students through the cognitive learning process Teachers choose the appropriate cognitive level for classroom objectives and a quality assessment is designed to measure how well those objectives have been met

Understanding: classify, describe, discuss, explain, express, identify, indicate, locate, recognize, report, restate, review, select, translate, Applying: apply, choose, demonstrate, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, operate, practice, schedule, sketch, solve, use, write. Analyzing: analyze, appraise, calculate, categorize, compare, contrast, criticize, differentiate, discriminate, distinguish, examine, experiment, question, test. Evaluating: appraise, argue, assess, attach, choose compare, defend estimate, judge, predict, rate, core, select, support, value, evaluate Creating: arrange, assemble, collect, compose, construct, create, design, develop, formulate, manage, organize, plan, prepare, propose, set up, write..
