Staff Meeting 12.02.18

Julie Mills

SOLO checklist: Are you using this? What does Julie need to focus on for the next session? 

Area's I would like to work on are: 
  1. SOLO used for WALT's
  2. Uses rubrics to show students the What Next?

Whanau Meet and Greet

If you were to hand out a one page sheet, what would be on that sheet? 
  • A bit about yourself, your contact details and availability
  • School hat requirements and named clothing - EVEN UNDIES!
  • Start time
  • Library time
  • Swimming time
  • Assembly time (whanau are welcome to attend)
  • Helping your child at home/home learning expectations
  • Nude Food/Brain Food
  • What we are learning this term
  • 50th Jubilee and how this relates to our inquiry unit - Are you or do you know any past students?
  • TRS Facebook page and Newsletter
  • Absences
  • Play-Based learning
What is vital to your class as opposed to what can be found elsewhere? It needs to be in time, relevant, not too wordy. Specifically for my class I would include: 
  1. A bit about myself, my contact details (blog, newsletter) and availability
  2. Library day/Rosters
  3. Home Learning expectations
  4. Named clothing/School hat
  5. Play-Based Learning/What we are learning
Focus of the letter should be on learning because as a school that should be our main focus! The letter will not go on school letterhead, but must be reviewed by your team leader in advance. 

Assessment

Think before 19th (next week) why we assess and what do we assess for learning? This should be to inform our planning and help students achieve success. Investigate what I think is the most important thing to assess for learning. Look into the different types of assessment:
  • Summative assessment - collecting data throughout the year, a summary of what children have learnt. 
  • Formative assessment - has the greatest impact on student learning. Happens fluidly. 
Think about what I already do assess in my classroom, and what I should assess in my classroom. 

Places to look for information about assessment: 
  • TRS A-Z
  • TKI
  • Auckland University Education website
  • ERO reports 
  • NZEI reports
  • Education Council

Health notice

4 students will school sores. If you notice open wounds, send them to the office. Cannot swim if they have sores. 
There is a tummy bug going around. Talk about washing our hands before and after we eat, and covering our mouths to cough or sneeze.

PBL Meeting - Oral Language 1.11.18

Glenfield Intermediate PBL meeting – Oral Language Linda and Anne from Longworth Education Linda – Developing oral language in junior classes How many of you have a student with an oral language age of around 3-4? Think about how many times that you have a conversation with the children in your class during the day; a real conversation. Not talking to them, not giving them instructions, but sitting down and having a conversation. Many schools don’t have the time to sit down and have a conversation. Statistics show that to raise oral language, we need to have conversations with our students and they need to have conversations with peers. Not about filling their heads with information about oral language, but instead get them speaking. Research 88% of the time teachers have a role-given right to speak to anyone. Students have limited opportunities. 6% is spontaneous non-legitimate speaking 6% is allowed by teacher. High achieving classrooms, teachers talk about 55% of the time...

Staff Meeting: Student conferences July 22 2018

Ways to run your Student Led Conferences Met in Room 11. Charlotte walked us through what she does with her students. It is a very in-depth student reflection and the students lead the conference start to finish. Students know Miss O is there to help if they get stuck on any questions from mum and dad, but otherwise Miss O has a basically silent role. Students flag pages in each book that they are really proud of and have to justify why they are proud of their work; statements like "because it was cool" are not acceptable. Highlight for Charlotte is getting feedback from parents on their children's learning on the last page; this is feedback the students can use to improve their learning, or take pride in their work further based on parent praise. Notes to help students structure what they are going to say, they know what they're going to say, they're not stuck on the spot with mum and dad and teacher all staring at them expectantly. Means they're n...

Staff Meeting - 29.10.18

General admin comments: Reports should already be familiar content to the parents. If you make a statement in the students' report, you need to be able to discuss how/when you have talked to parents about this in the past. Reports may have a way to assess student progress against the curriculum, e.g. english, maths, science? and a general statement regarding key comps, SOLO, etc. and how they relate these things to their individual learning Prize Giving Discussed how we should structure the awards
