Assessment Analysis - GLOSS

Through the analysis of GLOSS Testing for T2, I have noted some significant changes. The percentage of students who were achieving well below has decreased significantly for both levels, especially for all areas (Add/Sub, Mult/Div and Prop/Ratio). The major noticeable change has been with addition and subtraction. T1 saw over 60% of yr 7 students achieving well below and 59% of yr 8 students achieving below. T2 wk 4 has seen a major shift where only 8% of yr 7's are achieving well below and 28% of yr 8's are achieving well below. 

I believe this shift has been due to the whole class teaching that is taking place within the classroom environment, using student voice to assess each students next learning steps, and using small groups to teach new learning or consolidate the learning for others (Based on student voice).

    Wow – well done, there is some great teaching and learning happening in Room 10. This is a huge shift in achievement within in a term. These teaching strategies that you have been employing are obviously working, can’t wait to see where they end up by the end of the year.

    What amazing shifts Tiaki. I too think this is due to you using student voice and co-constructing the learning with the students. They are aware of their own needs and you now have their voice which has obviously impacted in a positive way on the teaching and learning experiences you provide.
    Remember that you have also been trialing acceleration strategies which I am sure have also contributed to these shifts.
    Continue the great work.

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 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...

TAI 2018 - Question Development

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. ' How can I develop my leadership to support and sustain student acceleration and ensure intervention coherence across school?'  So what does this question mean to me? For Acceleration to be successful across I need to develop my knowledge and understanding around how I can effectively lead my colleagues to ensure all students are successful achieving at a successful rate.I am able to effectively able to collaborate and listen to my colleagues when reflecting and sharing strategies or tools. How will I be successful? - Have a greater understanding of acceleration. - Ability to effectively lead colleagues through acceleration. - Understand the importance of coaching and its effectiveness.
