All of our lessons are designed with a concrete learning outcome in mind. We are
constantly assessing the students knowledge of the subject and filling in any
gaps in understanding as we go to ensure that they are achieving their learning
outcomes. This also allows us as teachers to assess how effective the methods
we have chosen in our lesson plan are in developing the students understanding
of the information. In continually assessing the students in open ways (such as
Mind Map and Word Cloud) we are allowing the students to tell us where they are
having difficulty to give them more control over their learning.
