Sharing Learning Sites at Hokitika Hub Community Open Evening

On Tuesday 10th April I was asked to host a sharing session regarding learning sites at the Hokitika Hub Community Open Evening. I shared our learning site with a number of whānau and teachers. In total, I run three 20 minute sessions. There were a number of questions and a range of positive feedback about this sharing session. We have also undertaken to support other junior teachers within the hub to implement 1:1 iPads within their setting.

Reflection and Action Document

Critical Questions	Critical Response
Affirmation: What knowledge, practice or beliefs have been reinforced? Where is the evidence that gives me confidence? How can I share this practice?	Problem solving approach to mathematics. More fluid groupings and less ability based problems.
Question: What questions have been generated? Which should be prioritised?	Do we need to buy new resources? Can I try 3 act problems in class?
Change: What changes have I made? What is the impact?	Need to change planning format to accommodate the three part model. Before, During and After. Tell your partner what Leith just said - do you agree or disagree? Implement iKan test - and check back in with Liz. GloSS two times a year. PAT Math two times a year.
Research: What information do I need to move forward? Why do I need this? How might I get this?	Need to focus on the three part model. Before, During and After.
Challenge: What forces constrain my knowledge, practice or beliefs? Which of these can I change? Which might I alert others to? Which must I accept?	I need to be adaptive and flexible with regards to the NZC so it is clear within planning, but not the sole driver. I need to include students in the teachable moments. I need to encourage the testing of ideas and change my language so I start saying how does that make sense? How can you work this out? Rather than being the evaluator.
Meta-reflection: How do I learn at my best? What role do my colleagues play in my learning? How can I ensure that I keep learning? What learning routines should I maintain or change?	I need to revisit the reading in two weeks time to ensure I retain the content.
