Anita's Teaching as Inquiry Blog

Some key i nterventions to take place... Extra dosage in writing Benefits:  More milage in writing, one - on - one support, catering for needs and differentiating teaching  Peer up both Māori learners to collaborate   (mixed ability)        Benefits: Learners given high level learning opportunities that empower them to be successful. Student engagement in stimulating activities is critical for motivation, achievement, and progress. When students are given more advanced opportunities to learn, they can make more progress than they might previously have been thought possible. Motivation can come from collaborating from peers. Increasing Oral language capability through gifting vocabulary Benefits: Children who can articulate their words and thoughts clearly have an advantage in learning to read and write extending vocabulary to increase communication efficiency, and expressing self. 

Providing feedback for my learners by looking at learning gaps. School talk provides this function from learning gaps to learning design and differentiated guided teaching sessions.   

  How Maori Learners can articulate through talk and conversation by building their language capability of what, how and why they are learning in writing? My teaching practise is evidence of how I am unpacking my Inquiry Goal. Reflections are to continue with differentiating learning for our student support learners.  A good range of learning experiences linked to the writing process, Stonefields School learning process works in conjunction to manaiakalani's learn, create, share philosophy. 

  I have created a video explaining the slide show of how to use the strategy bookmark. This can assist our learners, parents, teacher aides to work through strategies of when children are in the learning pit during when they are reading. There is a correlation between reading tricky words and writing them too. By learners using this strategy will also support our learners during the writing process and coming across words that they may find tricky to write. I have shared this wider with colleagues as it is important to share practise that is working and creates consistency through out the year levels.
