2016 - End of Year Summary Meeting

Tuesday 22nd November 2016

1.  What is your biggest success?

  • The working relationship with Tara - it has been consistent, supportive and allows for both of us to support each other and the kids.

2.  Where are you at with your goals?

  • Reading Recovery (RR): Very successful in supporting RR kids and all kids.  Awesome progress across the class.  RR strategies are making a difference - cross over of prompts ...YAY!
  • Creation if successful programmes in a collaborative environment:  Worked well together to accelerate progress.  Exciting acceleration noted (Sarah B). Ensured maths has still been a focus - seeing neat stuff in maths.  Evidence is the engagement of the children.  Student-led "I wonder" questions have driven inquiry - has been really engaging for kids.  Development play in the afternoon has shown an decrease in the aggressive / angry behaviour.  Both teachers on the same page.  Wondering about how much we include Petera - is it enough, do we have enough leadership of his programme?
  • Assessment - anecdotal notes:  Using modelling books, but still not at a point where we are happy with this.  Tried digitising it, but it is a challenge to capture evidence when teaching.

3.  Target students - what difference have you made? Evidence?

  • RR kids (Anna-Rose, Corey, Shaun) - see assessments
  • Sarah has made great progress - evidence in assessments
  • Te Anga - just see where he is at in class and the playground.  Major change!

4.  Changes for 2017?

  • Will be different with less RR hours and more in-class together time
  • Want to include ideas from Rototuna School writing observation
  • Many structures will stay the same
  • Inquiry has been different - better this term
  • Open times for transition visits are good.  Need to strengthen the EC centre visits - Rikki needs to be there!  Need to keep taking ex-pupils with us
  • Wondering from Rikki: Where does Te Whāriki fit with the thinking about your programme?

5. SLT support for 2017?
  • Continuing support for us to try our ideas out in class
  • Support to allow us to continue our PD around writing in our class
  • Ongoing support for class behavioural/pastoral need
  • Clear guidelines for expectations and "checking up/checking in on" around things like appraisal/class blogs
  • Just being there when we need it :)
