MK Principal/LT meeting: 30 Oct

 MK Principal/LT meeting.

Joanne reporting back on Wananga Woolf Fisher Research Summary from all the Regions

Dominant themes from Surveys

Link to dominant themes from Academic & Class Obs Data  WFRC

Reading focus for 2021 waiting on end of year data to plan this. Early year progress to good flattens out as students move through the levels. Students not retaining practice of skills. Possible need for deliberate teaching acts of effective literacy practices e.g sentences structures. HLP in jr classes that are effective.  E.g Oral rich programs, play based learning. Explicit links to reading and writing strategies. Multi opportunities to discuss text with peers, planned opportunities, large range of texts available .

This made me reflect on some of the reading/literacy programmes in senior classes: Mark (Novel Studies) Rob (talk to write) could be things that we may need to share in the senior school.


Reading texts seen in the online obs:
Text reflect dominant cultures.
Mirror text: reflect your word
Window text: see the rest of the world
Need to balance both

Purpose and audience- lacking from planning as well as language features.
No evidence of metacognition- thinking about one's thinking
Blog posts evident of lower level thinking
HLP evident in planning but room for improvement- discussion time.
More agency needed in types of tasks rather than just time.

Where to for 2021? (Nationally)
High level thinking- metacognition, self regulation/agency, revise basic literary skills
Planned exposure to diverse text types
Deliberately teaching audience and purpose
Blog posts: more inclusive high order thinking.
