Developing a hunch
Developing a hunch
In this phase of the inquiry teachers need to reflect on their own practice and what they are doing that may be leading or contributing to the situation for the student.
The word hunch indicates that what you are thinking may or may not be accurate, but it is important to think about in terms of what you have found out from the previous two phases.
Example developing a hunch
Joe’s teacher started to think about what he had been doing in his teaching of Joe.
- He recognised his academic talents but hadn’t put sufficient emphasis on other aspects of his education.
- He recognised that he didn’t know a lot about autism as he hadn’t ever had any education about it. This had led him to think about Joe’s autism as ‘mild’. After all he was academically bright and had great language skills.
- He also thought that Joe should probably be picked up the RTLB to do some social skills workshops and that this would help him to work better in groups. Joe’s teacher realised he had been putting Joe in groups and expecting him to get on with it.
