1. Action plan
MS.TASNEEM FATIMA
DAPS SEAVIEW
ISLAMIAT, GRADE 4

2. LONG TERM GOAL
Adopt 21st century teaching approaches to enhance and build interest in students for appreciation of History and Geography.

3. Short term goals
I would change my questioning strategy with the students to promote their critical thinking ability.
For any research work or any good outcome for students they would be encouraged rather than just being praised , that would play a role of motivation for other students.
More research based tasks will be given to students in form of groups.
this would develop the habit of working together and helping each other.

4. Instructional strategies and tasks
I will asks questions that require students to give their answers with logics and proves.
Students will be allowed to gather randomly in assigned groups or pair to discuss from where and how they have collected their information.
More opportunities will be given for students to answer questions that require high-order thinking.
Group work will be promoted

5. How I would face the possible challenges
Sollutions
I will discuss and share all my notes and information with my principle
A news letter will be sent to parents to inform them about this new method

Challenges
My head may not agree with this new approach.
Parents may also raise objection on this new way of teaching they might not understand it
