Parent Input on Student Learning

As apart of Room 10's new learning programme I have been thinking about how parents can be more involved and apart of their child's learning progress. Students were asked to take home their learning pathways (trackers), work completed and drafts and share these with whānau. The objective of this process was for students to sit down with their caregivers and go through each step of their learning journey (skills they are developing, reading and writing goals and how they know they have been successful).

These were some examples of comments from parents around their child's learning.










When students returned today I identified some to provide me with some feedback about how they felt sharing their learning opportunities with whānau.

Student A
"I liked that parents were able to provide feedback on learning"

Student B
"Parents are able to see the learning and worked taking place"

Student C
"Parents get to know what is going on and what will be happening when we go to Auckland"

Student D
"Being able to explain what I have learnt"

This process will be carried out at the end of each week where students are expected to share learning with whānau members.

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.
