Reminder from Term 1 2019 - 5 min recap

We spent the whole staff meeting on this content in 2019 Learn staff meeting - this is a recap

EFFECTIVE practice should be recognisable whether it was happening in an analogue classroom or in our digital environments

Effective teachers cause learning - see NZC for reminders

Our Code, Our standards The Standards describe the expectations of effective teaching practice.

The Standards for the Teaching Profession are made up of six standards that provide holistic descriptions of what high-quality teaching practice looks like and what it means to be a teacher in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Examples: - fostering a learning culture that celebrates diversity and inclusion, and protects against discrimination pg 13 or - promoting a culture of high expectations for all learners, which relate to their interests, needs and goals, and providing challenges that stretch learning pg 15

Our challenge is to

Recognise Effective Practice

In any learning environment or context
in a digital learning environment

And the Manaiakalani programme has taken up this challenge

Effective practice in a digital learning environment is familiar- we recognise it for what it is when we see it. We are familiar with it from the past (see NZC etc). There are people in this room who have had effective practice from way back…

Recognise Effective Practice

1. Authentic Texts - first thing that observers are looking at. Authentic means - everyday texts, interesting, that engage students, (Not revised texts, summaries, or scaffolded texts). Students are doing the heavy lifting around the Reading. Looking for MORE than one segment when an authentic text is engaged with to extend their language more. Rich Language Texts.

2. Discussion - Dialogic classrooms & dialogic practices are strong in international literature. Findings show that participation in dialogue improves key comps, etc.

Separate discussion from collaboration. We want to see academic talk in the discussion. Critical Reasoning. Protocols around talk with our students that take them further. MORE THAN PAYING ATTENTION AND LISTENING. What is the quality of the conversation that these students are having? More than a think peer share…

Students need permission to talk. We need to allow them to think rather than just have the correct answer.

Oral Language and students use of oral language is important. We want students to start to use academic language.

Q & A is kids trying to get into the head of the teacher.

Reciprocal Reading - students having a role in the reading group eg. questioning, summariser etc. Students understand what is expected of them and they have the permission to speak and think.

In our classrooms - do we allow students to challenge each other academically?

Do we have a model for discussion that we want to emulate across the cluster.

Cambridge university has a scheme of discussion prompts. (Manage protocols in discussion).

Positioning is what teachers can build in students for critical thinking.

Slow release approach - build students into this over time.

3. Learning by thinking critically and developing strategies - Critical thinking is an area we can all work on. Thinking about thinking, e.g. “do I have evidence, have I justfied myself, is this an opinion or a fact etc.”

4. Collaborating and making choices in learning, creating and sharing - linked in a digital environment. We can do so much more than just giving students choice in who they work with. What is the purpose of sharing this artifact?

What are the affordances of taking away other modes - just using a recording - why did we take away visual cues? Thinking about why we have chosen to share something in a particular way?

Learning about copyright and fair use provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate the curriculum vision of being actively involved learners and the values of community and respect. Students can explore conceptual understandings in the social sciences and make use of key competencies, especially thinking, and using language, symbols, and texts.

Collaborative Synthesis

Synthesis... is increasing important in a digital context because readers build understanding by reading (parts of) multiple texts and because readers have to reconcile differences and tensions across texts ..There are very few tasks in higher education or in life where a person should rely on just one information source. Even reading online for a very specific purpose will typically involve synthesis across multiple texts.

Collaboration = shared understanding of synthesis.

Limit the Links with ONE portal for learning

We recommend One link for the whole school to remember > Your school website!

Students and whanau should not even need to remember it, they should be able to Google your school.

They should be able to navigate from within the school website to

Class or Subject site to access learning
Google Hangouts Meet link on Homepage of Site
Blog links from Class Site and/or school website

Action Points:	Check school website Are links to class /subject sites up to date? Have learners bookmarked the school website in their Chrome browser? Have they tried Googling the school and locating the website? Smart Learners

Google Sites making teaching visible

Each teacher has a Google Site as a portal for their learners to access their learning, including course content. Smart Teachers

Content may be simply laid out, though many of our teachers have provided extensive engaging, multimodal, rewindable learning content.

Learners should already be familiar with accessing the class/subject site to locate daily, weekly and long term teaching and learning content. Many have been learning in this way for years. Smart Learners

Ensure learners with poor or limited internet have enabled offline browsing and have Docs, Sheets and Slides on their Chromebook. Discuss potentially parking in the school car park periodically to use school internet to reconnect and update files.

Smart Learners: Drive Offline

Action Point:	A stocktake confirming the visibility (accessibility) of class/subject Google Sites should be a priority. This is best done using an Incognito Window as this replicates the experience tamariki will potentially encounter when learning from home on a variety of devices.

ALERT Remove Barriers	Passwords have always been a barrier. In distance learning they will be more so. Content for learning should be visible with no passwords required. Create a folder in the Google Drive to organise content that will be shared on the Learning Site. Set default permissions for this folder to - anyone with the link can view. Smart Teachers

Recognise Effective Practice

Action Point:	Check learners are familiar with filing digital content in folders Display Hapara on screen in class: Open Sharing Tab > Display Unshared files > Support learners to file them!

ALERT “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”	The Highlights function allows teachers to view student screens during school hours on the school property. Resist requests to extend this function to screens at home. It is unwise to monitor screens not on the school property.

Hapara Teacher Dashboard making learning visible

Learners should be familiar with filing their digital content in the correct folders (created by Hapara) in their Google Drive.

Teachers should be familiar with using Hapara and interacting with student content.

Teachers should be aware of where to locate documents that are not appearing on the Dashboard. Are they familiar with the Sharing Tab > Unshared files?

This support resource shows what a learner should see in their Drive when Hapara has been deployed.

Google Hangouts Meet connecting us all in real time

Real Time video conferencing, text chat feature, allow participants to talk, mute participants

Google has offered all schools the enterprise version of Hangouts Meet in response to COVID-19.

This allows

250 active participants in one session
Ability to Record session directly to a Google Drive Folder
Open live streaming for large groups eg whole school to listen in to principal

After discussion with primary and secondary teachers we recommend:

Create ONE Google Hangout Meet event and re-use it every day
Put the link clearly on the Homepage of the class/ subject Google Site *Update* Consider adding the link to a photo of the teacher, making it less obvious to the public.
A Primary Teacher would probably leave it open on a tab during school hours, whilst a college teacher may list ‘office hours’ for different classes next to the link (eg 9-10 Y9 Maths etc)
Prioritise inviting learners to the Meet event and making sure they accept the invitation while school is still in session. Don’t leave this to set up after schools are closed!
Taking time to practise at school with your learners prior to using outside of regular school hours
Empowering your learners to be familiar with the protocols for participating in a Hangouts Meet and being Cybersmart.

27 of 27

Action Points:	Check the settings on Hangouts Meet with Fusion and in your Google Domain. Is it open and available for learners? Support teachers to create a Hangout link AND to invite their learners to participate in the group (use the Hapara group email address for the class/es) Support learners to use the link while still at school.

ALERT Stick with the known - Google - to get us through this period	If Google Hangouts Meet has been limited or restricted through your Google Apps Admin Console OR by your Tech provider this will not work! Other companies are now offering their video conference products free. Resist the temptation! Stick with the products the kids are signed up for and you can monitor.
