I came into this trip quite hesitant as I knew that part of the process of sharing our tools, was so we could 'know our tool', 'articulate what our tool could do' and have clarity heading into October.
I knew that my tool was nowhere near finished, and knew that there were many gaps that needed to be filled.
Listening to my MIT colleagues share their tools was great as it highlighted many things that I knew needed to be worked on, but also some other avenues that needed exploring further.
I do that I need to have my tool at a level that I can be proud of and that will give mana and credit to Manaiakalani and those who I have been given the blessing of working with this year.
Things going forward that I need to work on are:
- Shared space for teachers to submit stories to Storytelling site- add spreadsheet
- Note on site, thanking Manaiakalani and that I can send a copy of site to others
- Teaching practice ultimately is the ‘guts’ of a teaching experience
- Add in WALT’S to site
- Storytellers- Kaiapoi High (Remi), Mairehau High (Student), Eugene
- Film stepping out process
- Step- draw visual to represent this part of the process. Film how this could be stepped out.
- Prepare for Principals Wananga- October!
Amber great to hear your enthusiasm and of course looking forward to hearing it. How have you collected information about the implementation of your changed practices/intervention (so it is clear what you doing differently) What informal & formal ways are you monitoring the effects of your changed practices/intervention on learner outcomes. Explain the reflections and tweaks you are making along the way (Don’t wait to the end of your inquiry cycle and find it didn’t work) Describe how you kept a record of each of the above in a manageable way. Monitoring: What is the intended change for a learner? How are they experiencing the intervention? How will they engage differently? How will you know? How will you know whether the intended ‘treatment’ (sorry about the language) was the same as the actual treatment.
ReplyDeleteHow will their outcomes begin to shift? How will you know? What data have you gathered to support your hypothesis that this will make a difference - interviews, talks, student voice, surveys, recording student ideas? You have created some great graphs to show some data but not made a summary. Keep plugging away Amber and record your actions and progress so we can see what you are doing. Kia kaha
