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).

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

Student-Student teaching learning and collaboration

Student Agency As apart of Room 10's new learning environment I thought about providing an opportunity for 4 of my students to run workshops based around students needs. The workshops run by students showed how respectful and focus their learners were. Through allowing students to run a workshop once/twice a week will allow me to conference with 6/7 students a day around their learning progress regarding Auckland. Through the use of student voice, I asked learners at the different workshops run what they liked about their peers running a workshop.  Response:  "I am able to connect more with my peers" "Language used is easier to understand"  "Helps me to understand the work easier" The past two days have been great watching these students grow into the role as a leader/teacher. Through observations of each workshop run students seemed advice from the teacher when required. As a teacher I definitely found it difficult to allow these l...

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...
