(Deliberate Professional Acts) What do you intend to do?
My action plan was written under the heading: Focusing as my practice strategies
Focus - My Practice:
To stand by the door and greet them individually
Checking in with every one of my students to see how they are doing (emotionally as well as in Mathematics class)
pronouncing their names right (especially the Maori pronounciations)
To make eye contact with each one, as they enter and leave
At the start of each lesson, make contact with each student and let them set learning goal for the day: "by the end of this lesson I will have finished...."
Keep them accountable for this goal.
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.. Learning Intention
2. Explaining/teaching 10 min, 5 min BB,
3. 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!!

student choose their own topic, after having one on one meeting with me
Some of them want to choose their own/ most of the students (the ones who are not sure, I guide by saying: "I think, knowing you and seeing a bit of your personality/knowing what you want to do after school, I suggest: Have a look at .... , and if you don't like it, then choose this..."
Students know that they can share with me, when they need some "time out", as I always stand by the door and look in their eyes and can usually spot the "emotion" of the day
