Action Plan – Unit 5

In this unit you have explored the feelings of loss a child or young person will likely feel as they try to settle into their new life in the UK, as you saw from the first-hand account in Shukria’s poem.

You have imagined you were a newcomer refugee student and explored what support you would need in the classroom in order to learn.

You have read through the recommended strategies for Fostering Academic Success and tried out these strategies in a case study activity.

 

Activity icon Task 21: Action plan

Timing: 10 minutes

Before finishing this unit, complete this action plan to decide which strategies you will take away from this session to try in your own classroom or wider school.

This is not to say you should limit yourself to just using three strategies forever, but it is a starting point to make meaningful and realistic adaptions to your daily work.

The Healing Classrooms Approach works best when all of the strategies are eventually put into place.

Comment

Action plans can help you solidify your knowledge after completing each unit and take away key strategies to try in your own setting.

Print and share these action plans with your colleagues and suggest activities you can all try and then feedback after a few weeks to see the impact across classrooms.
