WRFC#(6) Develop a set of hypotheses about patterns in your teaching that could be changed to more effectively address the student learning focus.
My hunches are - I need to promote self-efficacy, Self-directed learning, and imitate university environments. Student enjoyment affects their success. Doing homework helps to retain knowledge. I need to help teach them how to manage their own time effectively and not leave things to the last minute!
My challenge is to integrate these skills into my own practice to get my students to university by the end of the year. Also, cater for scholarship students.
I have been working with colleagues from my school and other schools, taking students to Pacifica Career Expo, organising NZDE whanau evening and working as mentor, running extra tutorials, initiating collaborative inquiry for one/two of the topics, collaborating with my colleagues for two of my internals, contacting parents to update their children’s progress, making time for scholarship preparation, preparing online lessons and asking for feedback to improve my own practice.
I try to get feedback from the students on each topic at the beginning, halfway and end of the topic to ensure the best results as every grade counts towards the rank score.
