What will be the focus?
What will be the focus?
Think about the evidence you have gathered about your students and your own teaching practice. The focus needs to tie closely to the information you have about your students and your current practice
Think about what you know from research
Think about your context, capacities, strengths and areas of challenge
Combined group of Level 3 and Level 2 Mathematics
To get them ALL on board
to get them to take responsibility for their own learning
To want to attend lessons, to want to achieve, to want to get their credits.
Change I can't do this, to I can't do it YET.
Knowing them well enough to put together an INDIVIDUAL learning plan with goals to suit their likes/interests and to get the most credits possible
Mixing up a bit of everything into their learning plan for the year.
WORKSPACE on Hapara for all their topics, really breaking it up into CHUNKS of work (2 min videos and 20 min worksheets)
Achieving in chunks.
putting the EXEMPLAR and the PRACTICE TASK at the bottom, with videos next to it. Instead of one long video rather 7 short ones.
Focus - My Practice:
To stand by the door and greet them individually, pronouncing their names right (especially the Maori pronunciations)
Some of the boys love to greet me with a hand shake, some with a hug, some with a high five
To make eye contact with each one, as they enter and leave
To say goodbye and give them each a compliment as they leave.
To chunk the work into smaller pieces
To have the same ORDER of how things progress/work in the class for example:
1. To do now (10 min)
2. Marking the answers
3. Learning Intention
4. Explaining/teaching 10 min, 5 min BB,
5. Worksheet either on -line or in book.
Heaps of practice assessments before the real assessment. Making sure everyone can ACHIEVE.
Changing their attitude from: oh no it is wrong, to Oh yes I have another opportunity to get this right.
changing: Not right, to: NOT RIGHT YET...
changing: I can't do it, to : I can't do it YET..
Let's try and try again...as practice do make perfect!!
Allowing them the "freedom" to change the flow of the lesson, to suit their "needs"
6. Putting Hapara workspaces together for all topics, so they can see the reality: BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND...putting the practice assessments and exemplars up on the site, so they can see WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE and what they need to be able to do for the whole topic.
