PAT Assessment Data


This week, was the first week of PAT Assessment. This week, I got the students to work through the PAT Maths Assessment. I was nervous about the outcome of the data, as opposed to the first test taken at the start of the year. As I reflect on the data given from Term 1 and Term 3. I am impressed with the achievement outcome of most of my students. I was, however, disappointed about the data that showed students who stayed the same, or slipped backwards. 

What Next?
- As there is another term left, i will use the current data to support students within the different mathematic strands to develop their understanding further.
- Identify groups or individuals who struggled in a particular strand. 

Wonderings
- Why did some students stay the same, or score below the previous data given?
- How am I going to prepare my year 8 students for High School, especially if they have made no improvement? 


Year 8 Data, Left Shows Term 3 Data, and Right Shows Term 1 Data (Pink: Students who made progress,
Yellow; students who stayed the same, Blue; students who scored below their previous score).

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.

Prominent Taranaki Māori Leaders

This term as apart of our Te Reo Māori Unit, Tangata Rongonui, we have been exploring prominent Taranaki Māori Leaders (Te Whiti o Rongomai, Tohu Kakahi, Te Ua Haumene, Te Rangi Hiroa, Tā Maui Pomare, Wiremu Kingi, and Titokowaru).  Learners were given 20 minutes to research facts on a given leader (D.O.B, Education, Job, Family and Iwi connections for example). After this time, each student was placed into collaborative groups to share valuable information about their Tangata Rongonui. Every learner was extremely engaged in this process and were overwhelmed by the knowledge held by these Prominent Leaders of Taranaki.  It is pivotal that we teach our tamariki about prominent leaders within each rohe (region) of Taranaki as Aotearoa's culture and history.
