Design for Learning

Spend time getting to know my students and their whanau. This looks like prioritising time at the beginning of the year to learn about our students, their like and dislikes, passions and strengths, and the ways they enjoy learning.

Spend the Data morning looking through the writing results of my home class students. This involved sorting them to see who has made excellerated vs slow progress alongside who is above/at/one sub-level below vs those students who are below/well below. Using this quadrant model it made it obvious the students who need an extra push and allowed us to look deeper at what is working well for different groups of students. We used this time to create questions or wonderings based on where students were sitting and what could have caused these results.
