Name of Course/Programme/Seminar: Mobilise my Reo
Provider/Presenter: Core Ed
If I was to summarise the key things I took away from this Professional Development what would they be and why?

  • Give things a go. We all have our own barriers, its important to identify these when learning something new.
  • Although our schools are hugely multicultural many of those people from other cultures have chosen to immigrate into New Zealand for our culture. We must protect and maintain our bicultural nature first and foremost.
  • Cultural Responsive bingo (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c_bS2JmHcG1hOCuGO4At8nYMGhG6YPL-46z_DF5T_MY/edit)
  • Getting ready to learn Reo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9sJfhT08es)
  • Clothesline analogy - Clothes are verbs, nouns, adjectives/ Washing Line is sentence structure/ pegs are teaching strategies to teach language. Can we use this to increase how we teach and use Reo?

How has this professional development challenged my thinking?
This session with Core Ed made me think about how we are using Te Reo Māori as a school. I feel like many of us (myself included usually!) are at the 'clothes' stage of the learning progress, throwing one off nouns and commands to our students. How can we move on from this as a staff to hang out our washing. The facilitators talked about the challenges of learning and using Te Reo Māori when it is not prevalent in our society. How can we make Te Reo Māori more prevalent in our school so we all have more opportunities to practice? I don't want to add more workload to busy teachers, I need to do some thinking around how to do this effectively.
What aspects of my practice would I consider changing as a result of this professional development and why?
As a whole school I would like us to create our own version of the culturally responsive bingo activity. What, at Paparoa, do we value as culturally responsive in our environment. What knowledge and skills do all our staff need to hold? How can we share this with new and existing staff?
Can we translate our 'P' words into Te Reo Māori?
Passion = kohara
Pride = whakahī
Perseverance = hiringa
Partnership = rangapū
Participation = whai whaī

Visibly Random Groupings

-

Last year I started investigating the power of visibly random groupings in the classroom. I was introduced to an article by Peter Liljedahl (http://www.peterliljedahl.com/wp-content/uploads/Visibly-Random-Groups.pdf) looking at visibly random groupings in maths. I began using these groups in maths with mixed success. This year I have decided to use visibly random groupings with a pastoral care focus. Initially I started this as a way for the new girls to get to know the exisiting girls in the class however it worked so well it has continued all year! Each Monday all of the names get put into a 'magic bag' and randomly drawn out in partners. The girls then use these partners all week for any think-pair-share, news sharing or collaborative activities. Reflection What is happening and why? The girls have been very open-minded about learning buddies and very rarely make negative noises about the buddy chosen for them. I think as they can see it is completely random and dr...

Writing Asttle Data

This example shows evidence of  a next step in practice in order to achieve improved student outcomes. This example clearly shows   achievement through standardised testing data. From the 'Where to next' data I can see that I need to focus more on spelling as this was the lowest score across the whole class. I will do this by including a word study/phonics based spelling programme into our timetable for terms 2 and 3.

Four minute walk through

-
Walking through the middle and senior classes today we saw a variety of literacy programmes, most classes were doing writing (between 10.20-10.40) with one doing reading. We have been struggling with teaching writing in our collaborative team as I am concerned that teaching in a big group when modelling means some children's needs aren't being met. We have also found it hard to balance the planning and teaching as a team. When walking through other classes we saw lots of whole class teaching and modelling with one class working in groups. Writing groups is something I have tried before and haven't made work for me but I really enjoyed watching the teacher with her small group. This group were listening to each others' writing and then discussing improvements that could be made. I would like to introduce this to my writing programme as I feel this is a very authentic way for children to get feedback from their peers. I have used written 2 stars and a wish feedback with...
