Reflection Day One PLD - Steve - 17 April 2018

Hi points - interaction and sharing of ideas, processes , presentations and seeing how we all have different ways of achieving the same goal.
Functions I can use. Potential for using the blog, also tidied up labels to be clearer. Learner agency update as to not just students but our impact.
Positive way of including photos.
The Blog has way more impact by the simple adding of a picture. Keep this in mind for recording.
Teaching Standards: what works.
Teacher reflection

Reflection-Steve-Term 1 2018

The most noticeable item for me has been the reminder that when learning I need to be more open to accepting the learning opportunities that are outside what I had previously thought where the main ones. i.e. not reading, writing, maths for Nat'l Standards, nor that writing is restricted to pen and paper. The use of audio is an appropriate format for conveying meaning - I guess that is literacy.

Developing our school goals as collaborative has started. Making our practise more streamlined, i.e.
using the blog for our appraisal process, with the Teacher criteria, with the school goals, PD, reflections etc.




This crosses over into so many other areas of my practise. I will focus on this one and hopefully become more open to seeing other opportunities.

Relationships: the mixes we have in school have altered or maybe I have.  The teachers have strengths and abilities that I have drawn on but maybe not helped to develop. I am becoming more aware with help from others, that I have certain mindsets that may be worth modifying? How do I do this?


The change from Teacher which has it's own set of dynamics to Principal which have a whole other variety of similar but different requirements. i.e. the way I run the classroom is not how I am managing my role on the BOT.
Again how do I change this?

Reflection - Steve - Troubleshooting

What did I learn today?
Blogger is best used for our appraisal process, as we can use the labels to guide the teachers criteria.
This is a shared reflective space that can be used across the whole staff.
Calendar- tasks will be more effective than my current use of the notes.
Google suite access for the students by class.
Once we understand how to reflect (which we tend to do almost subconsciously with our students) we can make it a more formal approach to teach it.

So What?
I have a way forward to start the development of our appraisal system. The tag options will mean that it covers more than just reflection.
Still so much to do, one day at a time.
I am stuck on keeping my head above the water, wanting it done yesterday so it is more effective.

Next Steps
Practise and play.

Reflections on TOD 26 January - Judy-Anne

1. What might be standing out?
2. What are my priorities to learn next?

Standing out: so much to learn and do but I feel more comfortable because I have learnt a little more over the years so don't feel so far out of my depth and comfort zone.

Priorities: develop a system for adding to the blog regularly, commit to a system so I will use some of the different software in G Suite to increase my familiarity with it, develop a playlist in you tube, develop some templates in Forms, Develop a system for storing photos- with labels
