Last Monday, I attended the Manaiakalai share staff meeting via google meet. Here is my korero.
Describe what was happening for the group of learners you selected, their strengths and needs. Discuss evidence you have e.g. anecdotal observation, learners’ blogs, data, student voice, conversations with whānau and previous teachers.
My Inquiry - year 11Mat (General Mathematics) class with internals for targeted Maori students and the rest of the students to gain Numeracy with at least 16 credits and a pathway into year12 using literacy strategies and skill practice. Link
By the end of the year, the Maori (targeted students) and the rest of the class can experience success in their learning by getting Numeracy and fulfilling their part of the contribution to passing NCEA L1 by using literacy strategies and skill practice.
Strengths and needs: There are 23 students in this class. Five Maori students, 8 Tongan students, 3 Samoan students, 2 Cook island Maori, 2 Fijian, 1 Filipino, 2 Niuean, and 1 Afghani. Four of them are ESOL too.
From the PAT results last year, 6 students are working at PAT-stanine 4, 10 students are at PAT -stanine 3, 2 students are working at PAT -stanine 2, and the rest working are at PAT stanine 1.There are clear gaps shown here in terms
of mathematics and literacy skills.
My challenge is to accelerate their learning towards NCEA Level1, achieve 16 credits and make an effective contribution to ensuring they pass their NCEA Level1.
Summarise the student learning challenge you planned to focus on in 2021. Talk about why this is important for your school/kura i.e. what difference will this make for your learners/school?
My challenges are cultivating their accuracy skills, literacy strategies, deepening their understanding,
creating ownership, promoting engagement, love of learning, confidence, and collaboration across their subjects.
If I achieve the above challenges I am confident they will produce a better outcome.
This will make a powerful contribution towards Numeracy, school goals, Department goals, and Manaiakalani

Your hunch - describe what you can change or do differently in order to improve learning experiences and outcomes for students. The simplest way is to say - if….. then…..
Hunch is accuracy skills and comprehension.
If I encourage my learners to do lots of skill practice and a variety of literacy strategies by critiquing each
others work, they will get motivated and enjoy learning.
Learning - Describe how you have acquired new knowledge and skills to make changes in your practice e.g. PLD, readings/research, ideas from your colleagues.
