All schools should adopt the "Stop, Start, Continue" system

Thanks for accepting!I think that the Stop, Start, Continue system is a great system to introudce to schools for many reasons.Firstly, it is important for teachers and students to work as a team.Although it's true that the students haven't studied teaching at university, but they do know what works best for them and what they feel needs imporving. After all, teachers and students need to work together for students to achieve their potential, so the teachers should receive honest feedback from the kids. This programme would allow students to annoymously let their teachers know how their partnership could be improved on the teachers' behalf. After all, students receive a lot of imput from teachers (try harder, keep it up, try this method, try that method) so why shouldn't the otherside of the partnership receive feedback too?Students will feel as though they have a voice Many students at school feel as though they have no input into the way the school is run. Although most schools do have a Student Council or Student Voice, shyer pupils or pupils who simply dont have the time to commit to these groups don't have the same opportunity to put forth their ideas. This programme will allow every student to have an opportunity to be heard without feeling under pressure or as though their opinion isn't "as good" as everyone elses (something which can happen in group discussion).It benefits teachers as they can see where to improve Not only does it give the students the opportunity to put forth ideas, but it also gives teachers the opportunity to take on ideas. Obviously the teacher doesn't have to take on every opinion of every student, but by receiving a few comments they can get an overall view of the impact their teaching has, and how they can imporve on things they may not have even though of! When we ran this programme at my old school, one of our teachers said that he received multiple comments that he spoke too quickly, something which he didn't know he did at all! In this instance, the Stop Start Continue programme clearly benefitted the students as many shy students may feel uneasy verbally asking the teacher to speak louder.Students can put forward new ideas This is where the "start" bit comes in. Although "stop" allows students to tell teachers what they feel isn't working for them, "Start" allows students to be creative and free-thinking, and put forward new ideas. For example, if a student thinks that more group discussions would benefit the class, or more interactive worksheets should be given out, or even that more colourful informative posters would liven up the classrooms, they can let the teachers know! Like I stated above, these kind of things are subjects which some students may feel shy or apprehensive to bring up, so an annonymous form to fill out would really help. After all, it's not all negetive! Although "Stop" and "Start" are to do with what can be improved in the learning atmosphere, the "Continue" section helps the teacher see what he or she is doing right, and what the students enjoy. Students may want to simply put forward that the teacher makes really imformative PowerPoint presentations, or that the school trips are really helpful towards the course. Again, this is beneficial as the teachers can see what is working, and which sections they should possibly do more of or introduce to other classes.Thanks!
