Some of the best PD I have done in a very long time! So thought provoking but so practical. I have taken so may ideas away from here and implemented them within my class and have seen instant buy in from my learners.
Some big take aways as we wrapped it all up today is ensuring we are planning for things to happen, as if we don't plan for it they often don't happen. This is expecially true with create tasks and blogging. How am I going to keep this momentum going and ensure I am doing this? Where are we planning for blogging in our weekly planning? Being deliberate about what to blog helps to increase student understanding and efficacy.
I would like to implement a hub wide tracking of what we are covering but also looking at how we are responding to blog posts. This will be something we work on together as I have two BT's this year who are learning their craft. Together we can create/tweek something that works for us.
A thought provoking question today was how often a term would we expect to see a response to text blogs? For me it would be ideally once a fortnight. How are these seen and responded to to be purpsoeful for the learners. An opportunity to seek feedback from our learners as to what they like about feedback.
So many fabulous people, so many inspiring conversations and so many amazing resources!!
Thank you to all who made this happen - you are all amazing!!
Next Steps:
- Create some 'one stop' shops for vocab and graphic organisers
- Work with my team to look at text selection and text coverage
- Contunue on with the mahi and inspire others through leading whole school PLD next term.
Kia ora Rochelle
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing the nine days of the RPI and on graduating the wider programme! What a great achievement over a very intensive three terms! Thank you so much for your kind comments about the team and the programme content :)
It has been such a privilege to follow your professional learning journey through your professional blog and the many insightful contributions you have made to our breakout group. We have all benefited from ways you leveraged your extensive experience in the classroom to redesign and innovate homework practice tasks in your context. Some of my favourites were your shades of meaning vocabulary activities and of course the ‘Go West from Here’ creates!
It’s also great to read in your ‘wrap up’ that planning for blog tracking and the session on Clarke’s feedback types, resonated with you.
Thank you for sharing the analyses and outcomes from your follow up Term 3 Reading Profile Survey. I do hope you will continue to use the survey as a measure of future students’ reading interests and dispositions.
All the very best going forward and for a well deserved, restful non-contact time during the Term 3 break! Please don’t hesitate to keep in contact and share any of your future successes in reading!
