Standard 6 Teaching

Term 1 - Reading Data Gathering

• Teach in ways that ensure all learners are making sufficient progress, monitor the extent and pace of learning, focusing on equity and excellence for all.
• Ensure learners receive ongoing feedback and assessment information and support them to use this information to guide further learning.

After making initial reading groups based on last years data, I have been monitoring my reading groups to see how individual students are progressing now that they are back at school.  This has led to me completing running records and being able to progress them up reading levels to better suit their needs.  Learners have been advised of their successes and progress and what their next steps are.

Term 1 - Learning Conversations (see also Standard 3)

• Ensure learners receive ongoing feedback and assessment information and support them to use this information to guide further learning.

Learning Conversations held with akonga and their caregivers to set their learning goals for the rest of Term 1 and Term 2.

Terms 1- 4 Planning

• Use an increasing repertoire of teaching strategies, approaches, learning activities, technologies, and assessment for learning strategies and modify these in response to the needs of individuals and groups of learners.
• Provide opportunities and support for learners to engage with, practise, and apply learning to different contexts and make connections with prior learning.
• Teach in ways that enable learners to learn from one another, to collaborate, to self-regulate, and to develop agency over their learning.

Link to my planning folder which shows how I differentiate for learners and their abilities and how we cross group students to help enable collaborative learning.

Term 2: Weeks 5 & 6 Testing Week tracking

• Teach in ways that ensure all learners are making sufficient progress, monitor the extent and pace of learning, focusing on equity and excellence for all.

These documentsshows how I am monitoring children's progress throughout the year. I also fill in the Torbay Learning Progressions which are also available for parents to see in the front of student's books.

Term 2: 27/06/18  Learning Support Referrals

• Teach in ways that ensure all learners are making sufficient progress, monitor the extent and pace of learning, focusing on equity and excellence for all.

I attended the Learning Support meeting and presented evidence to refer Tyler and Archie.  Both are being picked up by the Learning Support team and will be monitored.

I keep the Learning Support Tracking Data updated with students from my class.

Term 3 and 4: Ongoing Assessment and Tracking

• Use an increasing repertoire of teaching strategies, approaches, learning activities, technologies, and assessment for learning strategies and modify these in response to the needs of individuals and groups of learners.

As a team we have worked our reading and spelling so that we are able to attend more closely to individual students needs.

See links to planning folders as above.

Testing - ongoing testing and classroom observations and judgements have shown when students have been ready to move up levels and as a team we have accomodated this within our reading groups. This has meant rearranging our reading groups and which children come to which class but our flexibility has meant this has worked well.
