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).

Inquiry T2 - Peer Tutoring

Through the rich seem reading, I identified that I wanted to explore peer tutoring. 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.
