Face to face teaching

 Last week the year11 learners returned to an in-person class, which was very exciting. Out of the 20 students, I was pleased to see 11 face-to-face and 5 online. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of my students. It was difficult over lockdown with online classes, but 16 of my learners are on track and this is a good result. 10 of them completed their real internal test last week and six of them agreed to finish it next week. It is under marking/moderation now. 

I found that teaching online without skipping any lessons, collaboration, working with the whanau to close the gap, flexibility, motivation and online tools helped me in making sure the learners stayed on track.  The learners look very eager to learn after they return back to school, which is encouraging to see. tracking sheet Link.

Inquiry Question#6/3: identify informal & formal ways you are monitoring the effects of your changed practices/intervention on learner outcomes. Explain the reflections and tweaks you are making along the way WFRC #6/4: Describe how you will keep a record of each of the above in a manageable way (‘cos you won’t otherwise remember all your many micro-decisions and why you made them)

Next term, I am going to start classes using videos, google jam board and Miro online board which incorporates literacy skills, Algebraic skills. This is also to go through rewardable learning techniques and make sure students recall what they have already learned. I will also present exemplars of contextual questions to unpack keywords, skim reading techniques, matching activities, and video clips.  

I am also going to maintain a log and a tracking sheet to check student progress and keep a record of this on an excel spreadsheet. 

Practice test

 Last week my learners have been working on the Practice test. I have been using google jam board to familiarize them with keywords and it has been a helpful full activity to rewind their learning too.

Maths is not an easy subject for teaching online however Dochub helped me to overcome the obstacles.

Here is the link to the progress. I am very impressed with their progress so far and I am planning to do more practice next week too.

Here is the sample of my practice test along with  my explanation:

Year13s online learning

I have been working on the “Miro ” online board with my year13 Calculus class to do their workbook and revision which incorporates literacy skills, Algebraic skills. My learners found it useful for rewindable learning to recall what they have already learned. Here are the examples:

 This is a collaborative online whiteboard platform that enables learners to work effectively together with digital sticky notes. Learners found it beneficial as it is a nice, crisp, fresh interface.

 I used DocHub to practice past papers too. Learners enjoyed seamless PDF transfers between their Drive and DocHub.

Remote learning

My learners found it very useful with Googlejam board for Do nows and DocHub for an explanation using a freehand pen. I continued the Googlejam board to practice keywords and drill accuracy skills.

Here is the collection:

Student work

As I am running out of space Miro online board in due to my allocated space have been used for my year13 calculus class. Therefore I am planning to try Desmoswhite to engage my learners.

 I attended the Manaiakalani Secondary School Department discussion via google connect with Maths teachers yesterday. It was led by Kerry Boyde -Preece (Manaiakalani Secondary Specialist). Everyone shared examples of Learn, create, share is like in Maths in their schools.  I really got fascinated with how does the DMIC pedagogy is in secondary. This explores how culturally responsive pedagogy influences diverse learners. Promotes  Learn, Create share approach, problem-solving strategies too.

Here is my contribution:

Inquiry Question#6-6/1: Restate your inquiry question and your theory of action/chain of events (so you keep your eyes on the prize) Quion #6/2: Describe how you will collect information about the implementation of your changed practices/intervention (so it is clear what you do differently)

My Learners have completed three internals and now working on the last internal.

My learners struggling with contextually based questions, careless mistakes with skills, and rewind the learning. Recently I have introduced DocHub, Google jam board, and Miro online board which will address all the issues, lessons are interactive and enjoyable and ideal tools for remote learning. The three areas are indicated on the flow chart with the respective implementation strategies.

I am going to collect the information using a tracking sheet, online group activity, online feedback, conversations, and an Excel spread sheet.
