How to Implement QFT Strategies in the Classroom

The QFT book series and accompanying cards provide actionable strategies that can be applied to enhance teaching practices and support SEN students. This article breaks down how to implement the concepts of Adaptive Teaching, Scaffolding, and Effective Teacher Talk in real-world settings.

Adaptive Teaching:

  • Focus on real-time adjustments of teaching methods to meet each student's needs.
  • Use formative assessment and student feedback to guide teaching approaches.

Scaffolding:

  • Provide temporary support through structured techniques such as visual aids, task planners, and prompts.
  • Gradually reduce support as students become more independent.

Teacher Talk and Questions:

  • Simplify language to ensure clarity and understanding.
  • Use questioning techniques (open-ended questions, Bloom’s Taxonomy) to stimulate student engagement and critical thinking.

How to Incorporate QFT:

  • Integrate the strategies outlined in the books and teacher cards into daily lesson planning.
  • Regularly assess student progress and adjust teaching methods accordingly.
