How Do We Know They are LearningMany students arrive at Secondary School with a Primary School reading age. Teachers and students often find ways to avoid setting or undertaking reading tasks. Often students who in Year 9 score a Curriculum Level 3 in reading, leave four years later with the same grade. Finding ways to help teachers focus on teaching reading skills while completing the curriculum goals of a department is not easy. Asking teachers to plan and use the meta-language of reading instruction is a way to address the learning need of our students. More importantly, giving students quality feedback for a reading task, in the Secondary Classroom, means students are aware of their strengths and weaknesses. With regular feedback students very quickly come to understand their own learning needs and ask what they need to do to achieve a higher grade.

Those attending this workshop should bring a class text. There will be time to create student friendly tasks that improve comprehension skills.		Marc MilfordThis workshop will look at improving student engagement at a secondary level and it will also touch on critical thinking strategies.

By actively participating in modified games, they will not only acquire practical skills but also gain insights into the legendary story of Rahi. This contextual understanding will enhance their appreciation of the game and its historical roots.

In addition to building physical literacy through gameplay, learners will develop personal confidence in multiple areas. They will be encouraged to embrace the Maori language, learning key phrases to communicate effectively during gameplay. Furthermore, participants will discover how to take on the roles of players and umpires, fostering a sense of empowerment and leadership within their own classrooms.

Participants will receive valuable resources, including modified lesson plans designed to ease their students into the full game of Ki O Rahi. These scaffolded materials will support educators in introducing the game to their classes, ensuring a smooth and engaging transition.

To supplement the learning experience, videos and additional resources will be shared and these multimedia materials will provide a visual and immersive dimension to the participants' understanding, enhancing their connection with the game's cultural significance.
