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 literacy?

Where to from here? 
  • Collect/analyse a range of readings/materials/ resources to support both myself in delivering and teaching peer tutoring strategies and learners to be successful and purposeful mentors. 
  • Reflect on group work with peer tutees. 
  • continually identifying next learning steps. 
  • Set up group learning times 2 times a week to work with mentors.
  • Use modelling book for mentors to refer to support them in being successful and meaningful.

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.

Prominent Taranaki Māori Leaders

This term as apart of our Te Reo Māori Unit, Tangata Rongonui, we have been exploring prominent Taranaki Māori Leaders (Te Whiti o Rongomai, Tohu Kakahi, Te Ua Haumene, Te Rangi Hiroa, Tā Maui Pomare, Wiremu Kingi, and Titokowaru).  Learners were given 20 minutes to research facts on a given leader (D.O.B, Education, Job, Family and Iwi connections for example). After this time, each student was placed into collaborative groups to share valuable information about their Tangata Rongonui. Every learner was extremely engaged in this process and were overwhelmed by the knowledge held by these Prominent Leaders of Taranaki.  It is pivotal that we teach our tamariki about prominent leaders within each rohe (region) of Taranaki as Aotearoa's culture and history.
