My Inquiry Question (7)

 

(1) Key changes are: Flipped classroom model, My learners were introduced to Pacifica Academy, Statistics Scholarship exam in collaboration with Epsom Girls' Grammar School, Katalina Mau- Pathways manager from Auckland University, talked about transitioning to Tertiary, Dr. Janni's guidance to design my Iiquiry, Video lessons for all the internals,   Miro online board and study/ holiday classes.

(2/3) This course has 4/5 internal tests and external examinations. My learners have completed internals and are working hard towards Derived grade examinations(week 2/term4) and external examinations(14/11/24) and the Statistics scholarship will be on 5/11/24.

here is the reflection is here for the internals and I will complete the derived examination reflection after the examinations and external reflections next year. Term1 Reflection, Term2 Reflection & Term3 Reflection.

(4) Reflection about my Inquiry:

The flipped classroom model is a teaching approach where traditional learning structures are reversed. Instead of receiving direct instruction in class and doing homework afterward, students engage with learning (video) at home and then use classroom time for discussions.

(1) Pre-class preparation: Learners watch videos for internals and read workbooks for externals.

(2) Class time- Applying knowledge, group discussions, and the teacher acts as a facilitator/ addressing specific challenges.

(3) Continual feedback- 

• Real-time feedback during classroom activities helps students correct misconceptions and deepen their understanding.
• Peer-to-peer interactions often play a significant role, with students collaborating and supporting each other's learning

The flipped classroom model, especially when coupled with tertiary providers, allows for more personalized, engaged, and practical learning experiences. It harnesses the potential of technology while fostering collaboration, making it an ideal fit for modern education.

Term3 Reflection

 My learners have completed the internals except for one learner, and now they are working towards the external examination.

Here is the breakdown: five gained 18 credits, 10 gained 15 credits, and two gained 10. This means they have met partial tertiary entry qualification before external examinations. Holiday classes continue and working towards external examinations.

Here is feedback from learners:

Last term monitoring:

Pasifica Academy

 My learners completed their Mentoring program at Pacifica Academy last week. They found it extremely useful to collaborate with other school learners and Mentors. This program helps them excel in external examinations and smoothly transition into Auckland University.

Here are some study notes given to them to revise Probability concepts.

Monitoring continues

 My learners have been working hard towards externals and here is their internal update. All the learners reached their 10 credits and completed the last internal which is under marking to get 14 credits. Furthermore, they are working towards external examination to achieve their dream careers.

Monitoring update:

CHUNK CHEW CHECK strategy

 My learners have completed all the external learning and have started past papers. I found it useful to use annotated exemplars written by me rather than online examples. Also, the chunk, check, chew strategy is beneficial.

For example, chunk questions by question, make them chew, and check the score.

My Inquiry Question (6)

 

My learners are getting closer to the examinations, and the time has come to aim for the prize. 

This is all about the transition from teacher authority to student authority. My tweaks are study 

classes, a smart study plan, Annotated exemplars, Pacifica Academy, A well-being check, making 

study notes a Chunk check chew strategy, attending pathway evening, and weekly monitoring.

Here is my intervention.

Subject pathway evening

 Today is Subject Pathway Evening at Tamaki College and it is fully packed with students and parents. My learners had the privilege of conversing with tertiary providers to make their conversations with providers to finalize their next year's pathway.
