WEEK 1 TPL PRESENTATION

Rebecca Picklum

My Aim and Inquiry Question Aim:

To empower students to be more self directed in their own learning and to

inform future learning goals.

Inquiry question:What impact will my ongoing feedback for

my students, using the Ultranet, have on their ability to reflect on their learning

and select future learning goals.

Current Practice

Currently at Montpellier Primary School we run fluid maths groups.

The children are split into ability based groups based on pre-tests – beginning, consolidating and extension.

At the end of each topic each teacher gives their class an end of topic test, corrects it, awards progression points for that topic and writes a report comment for each child.

Current Practice

When it comes report writing time, we copy and paste the comments into assessment writer but we always have to delete what we consider the “less important” parts due to our limit of 2,000 characters.

Understanding of Available Data: Progression Points Progression points for ‘Personal

Learning’ and ‘Thinking Processes’ do not exist until Grade 3, so unfortunately I will only be able to compare mid-year to end of year progression points of my students. I will also be able to compare their progression points to the other Grade 3 classes.

Understanding of Available Data: Annual Implementation Plan 2012 (AIP) One of our goals for our AIP is:‘To strengthen student ownership of

theirlearning’.

One of our one year targets which I can work towards is:

‘Personal Learning to improve the 2010 achievement of 9% to 15%’.

Our AIP Targets

Understanding of Available Data Most of my data will be generated

from work samples and discussions which will be recorded and compared from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Planning For Improvement My e5 capabilities that I’m

focussing on are:Engage

Develops Shared Norms

ElaborateCultivates Higher Order Thinking

EvaluateFacilitates Students Self Assessment

Planning For ImprovementDevelops Shared Norms The way students reflect on their

progress and areas to focus on at the completion of each maths topic.

Provide students with tools and strategies to assist them in reflecting on their work.

Planning For ImprovementCultivates Higher Order Thinking Providing students with feedback

referenced to assessment criteria. Monitor student progress and provide

feedback that enables each student to understand what they need to do to improve.

Planning For ImprovementFacilitates Students Self Assessment Model strategies for self reflection. Support students to reflect on their

achievements and learning processes to frame future learning goals.

Understanding Virtual Pedagogies for Contemporary Teaching and Learning ‘...what needs to be known, and how

knowledge is stored needs to be re-imagined in our 21st century world...knowing something is the same as being able to quickly and accurately find the same information.’
