Before Afternoon Tea: Hypothesising
Using our shared pedagogy, when are there opportunities to respond to what our learners are telling us? | Providing more regular opportunities for feedback and feedforward to happen. Identifying ways of making sure students know and recognise the progress they are making. Where can feedback and feedforward happen and from whom? Doesn't just have to be from teacher - eg peer feedback. Strategies for students to act on feedforward. |
What might we do to get closer alignment between learners, teachers, leaders and whānau? | More opportunities for collaboration and communication with whānau about the learning that is happening. For example, student led conferences |
