 I have the task of reflecting on Chapter 3 Lesson Plans. A quick review of the plans: Plan A -Adults solve the problem typically by imposing a solution Plan B -Adults and kids solve a problem collaboratively  Plan C -Setting aside a particular unsolved problem temporarily until a more suitable time available to enact Plan B. There is also Emergency Plan B when the timing may not be best to work collaboratively with the clearest thinking for all parties - but you try and do it anyway. This may not bring forth the best solutions, and it is better to Use Plan C and wait until you can enact Proactive Plan B which is the best plan. My reflections: I think all kaiako at this school collaboratively construct expectations for the classroom at the start of the year. Many ākonga are happy to remind each other of these expectations for the smooth running of their class, and are aware that by meeting them, the environment will be fair, and a great one to learn and have fun.
