1. Was the learners’ performance during the term what you had expected and hoped more effectively next term?
for? Which learners need particular support with EFAL in the next term? What
strategy can you put in place for them to catch up with the class? Which learners
would benefit from extension activities? What can you do to help them?
2. With which specific topics did the learners struggle the most? How can you adjust 4. Did you cover all the content as prescribed by the CAPS for the term? If not, what

strategy can you put in place for them to catch up with the class? Which learners
would benefit from extension activities? What can you do to help them?
2. With which specific topics did the learners struggle the most? How can you adjust 4. Did you cover all the content as prescribed by the CAPS for the term? If not, what
your teaching to improve their understanding of this section of the curriculum are the implications for your work on these topics in future? What plan will you
in the future? make to get back on track?

1. Was the learners’ performance during the term what you had expected and hoped more effectively next term?
for? Which learners need particular support with EFAL in the next term? What
strategy can you put in place for them to catch up with the class? Which learners
would benefit from extension activities? What can you do to help them?
2. With which specific topics did the learners struggle the most? How can you adjust 4. Did you cover all the content as prescribed by the CAPS for the term? If not, what
your teaching to improve their understanding of this section of the curriculum are the implications for your work on these topics in future? What plan will you
in the future? make to get back on track?
