Readings from our latest Call Back Day. Thank you Rita! Always a refreshing and insightful day working with you. I loved the creative challenge of turning our notes into a rap. It's a bit cringy but I didn't have much time to practise! Check out the video here:
Notes and quotes for my thinking can be found in my twitter feed.

Criteria 5:
How do I help support my colleagues to strengthen teaching and learning in my setting? I am pretty lucky to be a part of a 'Modern Learning Environment'. I am working closely with up to 5 other educators. We are constantly working collaboratively and supporting each other in all areas of the curriculum. There are so many examples I could talk about: the most recent is when planning and organising our maths learning for term 3. We are starting fractions. I checked with a teacher in our group for their understanding of the topic because they are new to teaching at this level. This led to us as a team having a conversation around how the best way to teach fractions, where resources are and how best to use them. Criteria 9: How does my knowledge of the varied strengths, interests, and needs of individuals and groups of ākonga influence how I teach them? Being in the MLE and being exposed to 4 times as many learners is a really unique experience at being able to put my teaching skills to the test. I have loved the challenge! Knowledge is at the end of my fingertips through ICT and being able to combine my knowledge of successful teaching and learning with fast connection to knowledge, has been hugely successful for my practice. I am developing towards being an expert teacher. This allows me to be flexible in my approach to different learners. I have a variety of tools to use with different types of learners (eg boys, girls, Maori, strugglers, gifted). It is a start although I am always finding new ways to reach all learners. |
