Todays session has reminded me that I need to know and understand the pedagogy. I need to know my students, where they are at, through assessment, and know what next. My teaching knowledge and practice must be better to gain more confidence in my practice. Unfortunately our kura do not assess through PAT.
I also appreciated the resources and information about quick image and maths talk. I am going to interact with the tasks and games before I present them to the tamariki.
I am going to try setting up the spreadsheet for the assessment, learning intentions and success criteria, so that it is all in one hub and I can track progress. This will support a more purposeful planning, following the AKO HANGA TOHATOHA tikanga. Planning different ways to create from the learning.
This is one our tasks today. I need to understand more about the layout of the curriculum to work on this better.
Hopefully there will be a assessment tool that is in te reo Māori that can be implemented into kura coming with the refreshed curriculum resources. 🙏
Kia ora Lucy,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your personal relationship with maths - this is a powerful starting point for modelling a growth mindset to your students. Ka pai for planning to explore the Maths Talks (images and subitising) and games yourself first before introducing them to students, have fun:) Setting up a spreadsheet-hub to track assessment and for planning, including LI and SC, is definitely a purposeful next step towards developing your effective maths programme. I’m also impressed with how you’re linking your planning to the Ako Hanga Tohatoha pedagogy.
I’m excited to continue our MPI journey with you and see how your new learning supports your ākonga to become confident and keen mathematicians. I also hope a new pāngarau assessment tool is coming soon - much needed!
Ngā mihi,
Elena
