Anita's Teaching as Inquiry Blog

How will learners know what they are learning? Do they know why they are learning this? Where is would they learn best. In Breakthrough learners talked about where they were in the learning process when designing their spaces                 Stonefields School Learning process, created into an interactive digital copy or learners to manipulate and use for discussing their learning journey.     Now the next step: This becomes a part of how we learn in writing. talk about the learning progressions from the graduate profile using School Talk. Look at how it links to the learning process. This will enable learners to talk about what, why and where they are learning? 

https://travelingteddies78.blogspot.com/ In our Year 2/3 hubs we are having a focus on oral language through writing opportunities. In each hub we have the classroom teddy bear that goes home with a learner who has an experience with the teddy and will write a blog post or email a piece of writing to their teacher to upload on the blog. We are celebrating writing, motivating our learners in light of increasing engagement. 

Working on building the language capability with my learners, providing opportunities to talk about their learning in writing and identifying their next steps. 

                  Parents and children were asked to stand in a continuum to see the variety in writing motivation. We were able to indicate that there is a huge range amongst us all and we talked about how we structure our writing in the hub to cater for the different needs. We shared some strategies of how to help our children at home with writing too. A great success engaging our whanau.      

“What strategies (evidence-based) are most likely to help my students learn?” Today in Writing the two writing workshops came together to discuss.... where, why and how they learn in writing. We reflected, talked about when we were in the Learning Pit and how our learning related to the learning Pit. I'm starting to see my TAI 2019 come together.
