Weekly Reflections

Weekly Reflection 
Term 2
Week 5
Goals for coming week
  • Ensure PRT blog is up to date. 
  • Organise reading exercise for students assessed as stanine four (Work on inferencing).
  • Organise maths for whole class, using PAT data. 
  • Make comments on where students are at (maths, reading, writing). 

Professional Development Attended:
  • Te Wananga o Aotearoa (Te Ara Reo Lvl 2)
  • iPad Training (Manukorihi Int)
  • Algebra Maths Workshop (Te Toi Tupu) 
This week was the first week using the PAT comprehension data. Through this data, I identified students who were assessed as being at stanine 4. After identifying these students, I then identified appropriate an appropriate activity, which would challenge them to think critically about a type of text. I first started off by observing my mentor teacher who is also carrying this out. This gave me an insight as to how I can run this learning programme with my 5 children. 

Using the PAT data for mathematics is working really well. Students are mixed in ability when they are paired (i.e. higher level thinkers, with lower level thinkers in terms of mathematics). 

The first of three mathematic algebra workshops were held on Thursday. This was the first workshop. As a whole, we identified what the learner should be learning in regards to year level, and what those activities might look like.

The purpose behind this is the hope to motivate students to be more invested in their learning to achieve their learning outcomes. Through discovering my new inquiry, my team leader and I looked at how this would link to improving outcomes for my target students (Year 8 Māori boys) in Literacy, how we could achieve this  and the purpose as to why this focus is important and beneficial to the learner.  The purpose (Why) The develop accountability and engagement.  How  am I going to achieve this?  Modelling peer tutoring strategies Unpacking terms of what makes a successful peer tutor, using the T.I.P Chart.  Providing meaningful feedback/feedforward.  What am I doing (Teacher Inquiry)?  Inquiry Question - How will peer tutoring motivate students to be more interested in their learning to achieve their learning outcomes with regards to l...

Literacy Circles Reflection

Literacy Circles Reflection This week was the first week using the Literacy Circles reading programme. I have started this off as whole class to familiarise students with each role.  Worked Well:  Students understood the role of the " Discussion Director " and " Word Master "   Next Time:  More modelling and clear explicit instructions for each role (especially the role of the Summariser).  Asking for questions before students move into tasks.  Giving examples about how to successfully carryout this role.
