Week 20 - RESEARCH AND COMMUNITY INFORMED PRACTICE


  • What would I like to improve? My kids confidence in themselves
  • What am I perplexed by? Why do my children not see their worth? - they ‘give-up” instead of trying!
  • What am I really curious about? How you can encourage leadership for the lower-level learners
  • What do I think would really make a difference? Growth Mindset
  • What is something I would like to change? Leader and followership - all kids having a go!
  • What would happen to my students’ learning if I did _______?
  • How can I implement A growth mindset (Rather than just talking about it with the kids? Trust/collaborative games?
  • How can I improve My students growth mindset?
  • Look up John W Creswell for Research informed practice.
I think I have chosen… Growth Mindset/Mana potential - Sarah Growth Mindset/Leadership/Followership - Susan
The potential of Kaupapa Māori Levels most suited to “Growth Mindset”
  • Tino Rangatiratanga - The Principle of Self-determination
The principle of tino rangatiratanga has been discussed in terms of mana motuhake, sovereignty and self-determination. Tino rangatiratanga is about having meaningful control over one’s own life and cultural well-being. This principle is embedded in the Treaty of Waitangi. In signing this Treaty in 1840 the sovereign chiefs of Aotearoa New Zealand sought to protect their taken-for-granted, sovereign rights into the future
    
During this course, we need to:
  • Engage with the research literature to explore our chosen area and what is already known about it by raising questions, and then critically evaluate the literature to find answers (reading lot’s of books and readings)
  • Analyse how the research literature could help to support us in our practice
  • Identify ideas, opportunities or gaps within the research literature that you could build upon in your own practice
  • Incorporate Kaupapa Maori concepts into your research and planning (Tino Rangatiratanga - The Principle of Self-determination)
  • Use the research literature as a basis to develop and justify a Teacher Inquiry project plan, which engages with your community in addressing the chosen area/topic
  • Demonstrate how you will utilise evidence from your inquiry project in your practice and evaluate the potential influence this evidence will have on you and your community.

Week 29 - Using online networks in my professional development

Week 29 Using social online networks in my professional development In this weeks post I will be using the Jay and Johnson’s (2002) reflection model to reflect on how social media is being used in my professional development. Descriptive I have been using social media tools such as Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram for the past 12 years to connect to family and friends around the world. I have also used limited, various social media as a teaching tool in the classroom, however it wasn’t until this year, when I changed levels from year 1 to year 5 students that I have that I truly realised it’s potential and started using social media to inform my teaching practice and connect to social networks. This has opened up a whole new world for me and I now connect daily to see what’s happening  globally in the ‘teaching world’, ask questions and find new ideas to bring into the classroom. Comparative After filing out the social media survey, it got me thinking about h...

Deep level Conversations

Deep level conversations in Collaborative Inquiry Groups Teacher Inquiry Assessment 2 (Research 2) Last night at our Staff Meeting, our Principal shared a reading about Leading Deep Conversations in Collaborative Inquiry Groups by Tamara Holmlund Nelson, Angie Dueel, David Slavit and Annie Kennedy. The article raised some good points and questions about how we collaborate and communicate with our colleagues within our Collaborative Inquiry Groups. It's hard to find the time to focus specifically on and have professional and deep level discussions about our students learning. It highlights some good points and raises some further questions; Do we need a tool to guide the way in which we engage with our colleagues and the way we talk about student learning/teaching? How can we foster, support and engage in deeper level collaborative conversations? Do we need outside help to achieve this?

Week 32 - A key change in my professional practice

Week 32 Key change in my professional practice This week I reflect on my 32 week learning journey in which I critically evaluate one key change in my professional practice in relation to a theme from the Hack education research. I have documented and discussed this journey using Rolfe’s (2001) reflective model. What? My Mindlab journey has been a life-absorbing, life-changing, exciting and fast-paced ride, but a ride I have thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend to next in line. It’s hard to pinpoint one key change in my professional practice as there have been so many. Really. However, the one key change that stands out from the rest would be collaboration, and the many platforms and mediums used to collaborate with both my learners, peers and colleagues. Using the Hack education starting statement ‘In the future education will be…’, as a prompt, I reflected on the changes I had made in my classroom that had really made a difference for not only myself in m...
