- Professional learning and development that aligns with the goals or next steps identified in the appraisal process and renewal of my practising certificate.
PLD July 10 2018
What was useful/significant to me?
- Judy-Anne set up a site for putting together a playlist using you tube videos. This now has all things required for assembly preparation that students can use and add to.
- Looked further at managing comments on google docs and learnt how to lock certain docs for editing when providing instructions to class. Suggesting/edit/viewing mode when sharing. Steve has also set up a group to enable us to email shared docs to whole class.
- Using the whole school planning template now in teachers shared folder. This will be helpful with me and Steve working together with our planning as we can add to it things such as what students need support or where we left off when we are in the class.
What I am finding challenging?
Still finding the process for sharing photos easily with the whole class rather complicated but are still covering this today.
See saw - still to come
Management of learning in class - need more practice with the systems in class to get this down pact.
Where are my class/myself next steps?
Continue to practice using these systems
Put class rules/routines up on display in the class
Continue to have students teach each other new skills as they learn them.
Work on managing comments (marking) even spending 5 minutes at break going through these to keep up to date.

Re: giving students feedback... consider how you grow a culture of feedback in your classroom where both you AND the learners are providing one another with useful feedback to move learning forward.
ReplyDeleteContinuing to practise to use the systems is part of the challenge, consider how you will give YOURSELF time to continue your learning alongside the children.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is a better use of your time to do this during school time; this is something for you to figure out. Develop routines in the classroom that give the students (and you) time to learn new skills. How you model yourself as a learner to/with your students is an important aspect.
The higher the degree of agency your learners have, the more empowered they will become (plus the greater your opportunities to learn also).
We have built in time during the week to support reflection. Keep up the great work.
