What a day! Really excited to be a part of the RPI this week as I have missed the last few due to family commitments. Always gaining new insights and perspectives when we meet today was no different! I really enjoyed our discussion about timetabling to empower learners, particularly about creating assessment capable learners as they understand processes and the different components. I liked hearing about meeting halfway between teacher responsibility and learner responsibility and having adaptable timetables, where, when and what - making sure we are covering all aspects of our timetable. Getting a glimpse of different mahi trackers, where akonga check off their tasks gives me confidence I would actually know explicitly what they have done.
As I was listening to the recap by Aimee, I realized how much content we went over today and everything has a place within the pillars of reading.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your reflections on Day 5: Planning a Reading Programme. It’s great to hear that you were positively impacted by the break out discussions and the sessions on timetabling.
I was encouraged to hear that you liked the look of the Mahi Trackers and may give these a try with your learners. It’s a really effective way of building more accountability, as you say, and for increasing learner self-management over time.
I hope you found the digital apps session to be useful and that you plan to explore these more for giving learners further choice, and opportunities to respond to unseen short text.
I really look forward to hearing how your practice implementations and coaching discussions build off these takeaways.

Kia ora Hine,
ReplyDeleteTimetabling that empowers our tamariki! How fabulous that what seems to be an admin task can have such effects for our tauira. I think that makes my heart sing - I love a good spreadsheet and love even more what it do for our learners.
I look forward to seeing where this goes.
Ngā mihi nui,
