Well we have made it to day two! Another good day of receiving copious amounts of information. Found this session or should I say lesson, very useful although not as heavy as I thought it was going to be. What did I learn that increased my understanding of the kaupapa and pedagogy of the Manaiakalani Programme ? I was lucky enough to have had Sharon come in recently and chat to our staff about RAT E - not rate but rat -e! the importance jof data and how we can use it came back to the forefront of my mind and I loved knowing that everyone has the chance to be great.
“If it’s worth TEACHING,
it’s worth capturing.
If it’s worth LEARNING,
it’s worth capturing.”
This is possible the biggest take away and the importance of rewindable teaching. This is something I have never really mastered. A few seeds have been planted on how I can do this better! I am hoping screen cast or google record will be my next best ...tool!
What did I learn that could improve my capability and confidence in teaching maths?
I have heard Elena say often that we are not throwing out the old which rings very true to me. I love math's, am no expert although I certainly have experience that allows me to be successful. I have taught to the whole class for a few years now and feel that groups within any area have to be fluid and change at the drop of a hat. I feel I can take new ideas on and keep developing my teaching pedagogy and style. What did I learn that could be used with my learners? I will continue to fine tune the maths talk - loved seeing the subitising activities in the sessions today and that will become a part of our daily routine for the coming week. A refresh on looking at the DATA and sharing tis with my team will be a focus too while making sure the LI and SC are clear.
What did I learn that could be shared within my wider community, with either colleagues, or whānau/aiga? As mentioned I will share the subitising with my team and the planning also - just as a thought! As the maths lead, I will also share the PAT data slides to help our team reflect on their DATA.
I am now going to try and attach what I made from last week.....this is a screen shot of the ground rules that have been adapted to fit in with our PB4L-SW explicit teaching program. Till next week!
Kia ora Libby,
ReplyDeleteLoving your reflections on Day 2! It’s great to hear how today’s content felt manageable yet impactful. Your insights on the power of data, rewindable teaching, and evolving your practice while building on what works are spot on! I'm sure your expertise in flexible, fluid grouping and adapting on the go makes a huge difference for your learners and will support your own transition to the new curriculum.
I’m excited to hear how your learners respond to subitising - a great addition to your teaching repertoire! Your Ground Rules poster looks great, well done:).
Thanks for planning to share your MPI learning with your team. I hope it supports more teachers in their practice. Please feel free to reach out anytime if you need support or have any questions.
Looking forward to your homework reflections in three weeks. Keep up the awesome mahi!
Elena
