Example of some of on of the responses

Been a positive impact!

Hi Ms. Anita
Thank you so much for your email. I am so pleased that you are proactively asking the parents to support their children. I am really impressed with your teaching- learning strategies. I am mother of ****** and she recently started the school from this second term onward. When she arrived from India two months back, she could only read few words. But during the past one month, I have observed that she has improved her reading skills and all credit goes to you and other teachers in HUB 10. So thank you so much for your fabulous support to my daughter. 
With regard to your questions:-

What do you think are some of the barriers in reading for your child?
- She may not be able to read new and complex words. 

*  What do you think would help your child make progress in reading?
Probably assisting and teaching her how to read the words by identifying the alphabet's phonics. Since English is her second language, she can also be encouraged to articulate what she understood from the reading passage in English. 

*  What further support do you need to help you child progress to the next colour in reading?
I would appreciate if you could share resource materials regarding how to make reading more interesting for my children. 
Once again thank you so much for your wonderful support.

With regards and thanks

My child loves reading, but writing is so much harder for them. I can teach reading, but not writing. They are just not interested in writing  If they don’t know a word should I tell them or do I let them guess? Kia ora, Great to be back here to share my 2022 Inquiry. whānau voice is asking us to partner alongside to help them support their child in writing,  The data collected from earlier this year, EASTle, Overall Teacher Judgements, Gap Analysis in School Talk, Our school-wide data, and tracking attitude and confidence show there is a dip in progress and learners are not making the expected rate of shift or are below standard in writing. I saw this as an opportunity to strengthen relationships and educate whanau on how to help their child at home.  I led a parent writing workshop to upskill them on how we use the LP and to engage their child in writing. We unpacked writing samples to notice what is happening to their child. At Whānau day learners shared their writing success and ne

Time to dig deeper in my analysis and ask myself... "what happens in the classroom when I apply my learning" Dimension 4.    What is adaptive expertise? Adaptive expertise is about being self-aware, having agency over your ability to make a difference, and striving for the best outcomes for your students. Engaging in effective professional conversations can support you to. This video has made me look at my own practise and looking at the agency and urgency I have developed in making a difference. After having many conversations around 'Am I really making a difference". I am now able to dig deeper into my inquiry.   When reviewing Helen Timperly's research on the spiral of Inquiry I am at the checking phase now. So I am thinking about which learners are still struggling and facing some of the barriers in reading I have found.  I am wondering if my deliberate tools and strategies created and using are successfu
