Buddy Coaching, T1


Today I had a coaching session with my critical friend, Petrina.
We established a goal for me for the next weeks: 
My Literacy Programme will be delivered through my class site by the end of the term.
See the photo for notes, steps, barriers and enablers.
I love having coaching conversations to nut out what is on top for me and my learners and figure out steps needed to achieve my goals.
I feel pretty confident about this goals as I am really enjoying what I am learning at DFI and I am trying new things with my class site all the time.

DFI#2


What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy? It is interesting to think about how our current school curriculum can align with Learn, Create, Share. I am reflecting on where my practice sits at the moment in regards to the SAMR model. I will be continuing to think about how to design learning that is moving towards transformation rather than enhancement.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
Streamlining my gmail, bookmark bar and calendar will allow me to work smarter. I will be sharing these hacks with my staff and encouraging them to use them within our workplace.

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  
I have learnt how to screen-castify and record using MS slides. I can see how the students could use this tools to teach their peers. I could also use these tools to make mini workshops for learning and then post on to my class site.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?
Streamlining my Gmail will help me to more organised and create an efficient way of organising my correspondence and teaching resources. Using my Calendar is helping for organising meetings with staff and sharing events with whanau.
