Behaviour Plan - Team 2

At one of initial Team meetings we updated our Behaviour Plan for the Team. It is made up of simple steps that children will be aware of as each Teacher is to explain the steps to their class.

Maori Technology Inquiry Unit 2014

A fantastic opportunity for all children to learn some hands on skills about how the first Maori identified the needs for survival. A unit that involved weaving of cloaks for the Principal and Deputy Principal. Referral to Maui legends and our own lives continued to help children relate to the needs for making clothing, preparing food in order to survive.

We had Discovery Days where each child visited each teacher, who was teaching a new skill - weaving, koru designs and making rewana bread.

Schoolwide Focus- Learning Intentions and Success Criteria

We have had some readings that we discussed as Team  Leaders with Stephen throughout the year. Parts of these readings were shared with our team as well as taking on board ourselves. Reflecting as a team helped us to clarify our ideas and understandings of using learning intentions and success criteria.

Throughout our team we experimented initially with learning intentions and success criteria in writing. As my confidence improved and I say how the attitude and clarity of the children in their learning improved I began using simpler and clearer intentions. The class and I grew in confidence when using success criteria. These were displayed around the room for all to refer to as well as in modelling books.

Teaching as Inquiry 2014- Writing

Throughout this year, I have worked at trialling new ways to help progress my target students to meeting the National Standard in writing. During my journey I have found that one of the most effective ways to help children achieve is to have them aware of the one clear step that they are focussing on, and what this would look like in their writing.

ALIM 2013

During 2013, I was part of the MOE ALIM group. This group was made up of people from Wellington to Rotorua, covering primary and secondary school children. This professional development included readings, working with small groups each day both within the class and withdrawn. this was for children who were below the National Standard for their age.
A very reflective year focussing on maths, constantly updating the way you spoke or worked with equipment and children.
Attach MOE final report that was presented to colleagues.

Working with Emily - our Beginning Teacher

At the beginning of the year, Emily and I worked together to design to her reading, writing and maths programmes. Emily was released once a week. She would send a email of what readings and other professional work she was going to cover on those release days.
Each term Emily and I would set goals and these goals were reviewed at the end of each term.
As part of her TAI, we meat with Leigh and Lynley each Wednesday to discuss goals, next steps and how to solve some problems for Kayjhan. Kayjhan is an autistic boy who need guidelines to help him become incorporated into the class throughout the year.
