Appraisal Meeting

 Present: Myself, Janeen (Team Leader), Nick (AP). 

This appraisal hui had a set of questions, based on any inquiries that I have within my teaching so far this year. These questions below were the focus of the appraisal. 

Q1. What is the impact on your teaching and or learning from your inquiry. 

Q2. Next Steps

I think this process is another effective method of undertaking appraisals, as it is delving deeper into what the teacher has had a 'hunch' (wants to enquire further into) about. This then leads into, how effective has the inquiry been, what evidence can you provide to support your inquiry and the impact it has change on the student and or the teacher. 

Throughout the hui, I discussed with both my mentor/team leader and the AP about my two injuries (Maths and Te Reo). 

The impact Te Reo has had on both the teacher and students is that; my programme is more structured, involvement of classroom ministers, focus of the week, yr 8's teaching rest of the class game Te Reo Māori games. 

The impact my maths Inquiry has had on my teaching and or students is; Students develop a deeper understanding on the key knowledge required to understand the activity they are completing, pre-post tests, identifying the improvement on that maths topic/idea. 

Next Steps
Using formative assessment to identify whether students show a clear understanding, or need more support and scaffolding to help them better understand the task at hand.

Formative assessment using the reflection process, by the learners (using; I am able to...., I still need to..., and I have a better understanding...)  will allow all akonga to self-assess where they are at in regards to the daily W.A.L.T. for each learning area.    

Both team leader and assistant principal will come in and see how my tool of formative assessment is progressing and identifying what I  

could be doing more of or next (Weeks 4 & 7).
