TAI2020WRFC Inquiry question#6: 

Question6/1:
Plan and conduct a detailed inquiry into specific aspects of your current teaching that are relevant to the hypotheses you identified in the literature. Inquiring into your teaching should give you:
Formative information about your current strengths and areas for development
Baseline information that you can use at the end of the year to provide evidence of shifts in teaching
Use multiple tools such as self- or peer-observations, analysis of your class site, student's voice.

Peer observation:





My learners have completed three internal assessments, and here is the link to the student voice/perspectives.

I invited our literacy specialist, Mrs. Mele Suipi Latu, to do a peer observation.
Her feedback was:
“No behaviour issue, students’ engagement was fantastic, all students were on task. However, a great amount of attention was given to ESOL students.”
I found this feedback very useful for my future planning and will incorporate it with my planning.

Question6/2:
Present findings from this inquiry about your teaching. Ensure qualitative data includes rich descriptions of your teaching and quantitative data is clearly presented.

Qualitative data: I had many conversations with students while I was teaching and holding study classes. I also gained feedback on their attitude towards learning mathematics through google forms. I found there has been a large shift in terms of attitude and students have now started to take ownership of their own achievement. It was reassuring as I also had a good turn out during the winter holiday break study classes (first week of the holidays.) I also did catch up sessions in Algebraic skills and contextual based questions.

Quantitative data:
Here is the overall summary











Most of the students have gained 9 credits with Merit or Excellence. Due to COVID19,  12 credits with at least one external is enough to get an endorsement. My learners are in a very secured position with internals to gain an endorsement.

Question6/3:

 Write a reflection in which you summarise your main learning about your teaching and the next steps. This will prepare you to design an intervention next time.

Now my challenge is motivating students with externals (there are two externals) until the examination period and ensuring they retain knowledge. Having said that, there is also one more internal to finish this term too.
