Inquiry action plan

This week we began our COP groups and started discussing our goals for the year. Through my self-appraisal I identified that I need to work on enabling students to understand why they are learning a particular concept not just what they are learning. I have combined this with the school-wide focus to create my current goal:

As a result of explicit, focussed learning intentions 85% of my children will be at or above the standard in writing by 30 November 2016.

I plan to do this through

• Attending Louise Dempsey PD and implementing appropriate ideas (criteria)
• Co-construct learning intentions
• Clear next steps written in children's books based around their goal
• Group based goals
• Tracking writing data and sharing findings with children to co-construct next steps
• Integrate learning intentions across the curriculum to generate authentic learning tasks
• Schedule feedback time (see every child once a fortnight) for children to reflect on goals and next steps - feed into new learning intentions.
• Integrate reading and writing as much as possible to create authentic literacy learning
