• 7 minutes

• 1-2 minutes

• 3-5 minutes

• <7 minutes

Answer explanation

1 - 2 mins should be spent at the end of the session in reflection before ending the session.

Do not carry out an in - session student reflection here as you should have reflected using mini plenaries. However, you can ask students if they have any questions or anythingthey want to clarify about the lesson overall.

How much time should be spent on the welcome slide at the start of the session for a new student in a diagnostic/teacher selection program?

• 4 minutes

• 3 minutes

• 2 minutes

• 1 minute

Answer explanation

Ideally, for an existing TSL student, the time spent on the welcome slide should be:

* Any program -> 30 seconds to 1 minute

For a new student, the time that should be spent on the welcome slide is:

* SATs 2 mins - with relevant slide

Is it required to conduct a 'Mini plenary' at the end of each LO?

• Yes

• No

Answer explanation

It is important you conduct a Mini plenary at the end of each LO to reflect back on what was learnt. You can use the questions from the pdf shown in the image to conduct the Mini plenary.

Even if the LO is half completed, a 'Mini Plenary' should be done to help the student reflect on what they have completed in the LO up till that point.

Which of the following statements are true? Select 2 that apply.

• New challenging questions can be given to the student to check their understanding during the reflection

• It is mandatory to assess learning through the support slide to assess learning during reflection

• It is recommended to use the 'Before you go' slide to start off the reflection

• Reflection is part of the session flow and is mandatory to be carried out at the end of each session

Answer explanation

It is highly encouraged that we initiate the reflection discussion by putting up the 'Before you go' slide to have an overall reflection on the session.

Tutors are not encouraged to give new questions to work out during the reflection since the purpose of reflection is to recall what was learnt during the session and end on a positive note.

The support slides are not mandatory and should only be used during the session if the student is struggling. This should not be used as a challenging slide during reflection before leaving the session.

How do we prepare if there are no LOs selected in the first session in the Teacher Selection programme?

• Prepare from the first 3 LOs from the Number & Place Value strand

• Prepare from the first 3 LOs from the Addition and Subtraction strand

• Prepare from the first 3 LOs from the Properties of number and order of operations

• Keep your RM informed about the situation

Answer explanation

If there is no LO selected in the first session, the system will generate the first 3 LOs from the Number & Place Value strand. They will populate the session list 10 minutes before the session's start time. You can find the lesson list on the Third Space Learning - Home page (Lesson Navigation)

Week 1 - Student joined at 15:00 (RST)

Week 2 - No learning happened

Week 3 - No audio for 25 minutes

 

Based on the above scenario, can the LO be carried forward to the 4th week?

• Yes, because the student joined late

• Yes, because of the NLH session

• Yes, because of the audio issues

• No, it should not be carried to the fourth week due to any reason

Answer explanation

An LO should be completed within 2 sessions (2 weeks) ideally.

However, it can be carried forward to the 3rd week under certain circumstances.

However, LOs should NOT be carried forward by the tutor to the 4th session (4th week) due to any reason.

Match the troubleshooting slides with the appropriate reason that they would be used for.

• Check whether the student is able to hear you and to let the student know whether you can hear them

• 
• The student is unable to hear you even though your microphone is working fine.

• 
• The student is severely disruptive and you need to seek the support of the adult in the classroom

• 
• You are unable to hear the student as they have selected the incorrect microphone

• 
• The student has blocked access to the microphone on their browser

• 

We are currently in term 3. The teacher has suggested an incomplete LO that was done in term 2 for two full weeks.

What should the tutor do in this situation?

• Reteach the LO from the beginning if the student does not remember anything

• Skip the LO since it was done for 2 weeks

• Delete the LO from the PSFR

• Continue from where it was left off if the student remembers what was learnt

This is Term 3 of an Academic Year. The LO 'Common Factors' has been suggested to be taught to a student without a teacher comment. However, this LO has already been completed with the student during Term 1.

What should the tutor do?

• Reteach the LO

• Skip/override the LO

• Contact the RM because it is a bug.

• Raise a red flag

Answer explanation

The following applies when the teacher has suggested an LO that was taught from before the previous term:

* Completed lesson assigned again - reteach the lesson with or without a teacher comment

* Incomplete lesson assigned again - reteach the lesson from the beginning (assuming they don't remember but the pace can be changed based on how the student performs)

In a Teacher Selection programme, what should a tutor do if a half completed LO loads up in the platform as the second LO after a new LO?

• The tutor should contact the RM

• The tutor must teach the LOs in the order they are loaded onto the platform

• The tutor should tick the box and move on to the incomplete LO

Answer explanation

Mostly occurs in the Teacher selection and SATs programmes as the lesson selected by the teacher will be prioritized by the system.

Next Steps

* The tutor must teach the LOs in the order they are loaded onto the platform

* The 2nd LO should be resumed from where it was left off after completing the 1st LO

* Delete the 2nd LO if it was not taught during the session

NOTE - Inform your RM if a similar scenario is observed in a Diagnostic lesson as this could be due to a bug.
