PCT Workshop

 20th August 2015
       PCT Workshop, Provisional Certified Teacher 
       This workshop covered a variety of aspects from the newly formed Education Council, exploring inclusive education, collaborating in positive and meaningful discussions with other beginning teachers and teaching as inquiry. What did I get from this 3rd workshop? 
        - The slight changes made from the previous Teachers Council to the newly established Education Council. As beginning teachers we are now PCT before being certificated. 
          The importance of ensuring that our classrooms are inclusive to ensure success across the curriculum. Our classrooms are safe, and comfortable for learners to be successful. 
          - Sharing new ideas with other PCT teachers and gaining new ideas and experiences to implement back into my classroom environment. For example; allowing students to listen to their own music as they are carrying out their work independently.  
       
      Links to PTC's: 1, 2, 3, 12

across the board

      This video focussed on the barriers people face in society both in school and out in the local communities. From this video, Samsung organised training courses to help people understand the difficulties people have being hearing impaired. However, I belief is it shouldn't take this long to help people become aware of the factor that these people face. Within the learning environment, as teachers, we need to ensure our learning environments are equipped to adhere to learning needs of all individuals and that it shouldn't take months on end to ensure a learning environment is safe.

Culture

Culture  As a class we have been exploring culture and diversity. Each learner has been spending time exploring their ethnicity, religion, foods, traditional dances/music, iwi, country/ies of origin to help them better understand who they are. This has been a fantastic learning journey for all.  Students were shown a clip about what culture and diversity meant by taking notes. In groups students then needed to create a definition that they understood about what culture and diversity means. They needed to share this back with the class and explain their understanding about their definition.       Our reading workshops this term have been based on culture and understanding different cultural traditions and beliefs (Visual Arts, Music, and Foods for example). 

Inquiry T2 - Peer Tutoring

Through collaboration and discussion with colleagues we identified a need or focus for myself to support me in being an effective leader to support student accelerations. Many ideas were shared, however this question was better suit.
