Staff Meeting - PLD 18th

FFC NCEA Achievement Data 2018

RCR Goal – To achieve the “national standard”

There’s been a decline

What do we know about the students who did not achieve Level 1/2

-      Who are they?

-      Where are they now?

-      How can we help them to achieve these levels now?

Collaborative process – Co Construction - is now called Mahi Tahi

In groups of five…

Four seasons in order – no particular ‘order’ was given so we popped them into alphabetical order.

Firm, friendly fair – what comes first. We all thought about what our classes look like and

JHE – Fair, friendly, firm

SKE – Friendly, friendly, friendly

CJA – Firm, friendly, fair.

MVB – What does it look like as they enter the room? Friendly.

Inquiry – what does it mean?

Data; cyclic; wondering; evidence; questioning; building on weaknesses; deliberate action; reflective; collaborative;  

Individual vs collaborative - Regular reflective conversations in a collaborative inquiry has proven to be the best.

Genuine vs Determined – Was there pressure to succeed? is it still authentic?

Compliance vs appraisal – Inquiry is something I do to tick boxes rather than be intrinsically driven – increasing our capabilities as teachers; choosing an inquiry that is unknown;

Timely or last minute – setting a goal for the inquiry and managing your time effectively; create checkpoints to support and maintain.

Value added – Something that I meaningful and helps you develop your kills/understanding.

The Spiral Model – Scanning (as an individual); focusing (come together as a group to discuss); developing a hunch about the focus (why I that? How do I know that? What should it look like? Digging deeper (come back and collaborate throughout your investigation – readings/assessment); taking action (deliberate and purposeful action to improve); checking (have I made a shift in my practice or in the learner’s ability?

Checkpoints – catching up with the group or facilitator. There are specific ‘points’ to check when you meet up – there are templates we can used.

Scanning – Junior classes.
- Group formations
- What needs to be completed prior to the final group meeting?

Respond to email about which group by Wednesday morning.

Templates can be found on Teacher Shared.
