T1 reflection - what’s not going well
iExplore
- Most learners are not following the learning model document and do not understand that it is more than creating a presentation.
- Those who have done bake sales have needed significant intervention by Lisa and I. They haven’t understood the process they needed to go through to get from the idea to the end product (finding a recipe, making a list of ingredients, doing a budget etc).
- There is more of a language issue than I originally thought there was and I think many learners need ESOL support when doing their iExplores.
- I forgot to give the Sharks group the web quest that we created for them.
iDevelop
- Some learners aren’t getting enough instructional sessions on strategies and are not remembering how to use them.
- Learners don’t automatically go to the slideshows on our Google site and do the capability tasks.
- When maths workshops are quite large I have found it very challenging to reach all learners and use materials with them
- Most learners aren’t updating their reader’s notebook.
- There doesn’t seem to ever be enough time for each subject area (reading, writing, maths)
- I don’t think we have enough maths games and language games out for learners to use to practise their capabilities
iExperience
- I have found it difficult to have enough time for visual arts on Tuesdays
- It has been difficult to offer workshops with only two learning coaches
- Many learners need language support with independent activities
Home learning
- Half of our learners are not doing mathletics at home.
- We haven’t got a way of checking that the learners are doing home reading
Other
- Provocations that are not on YouTube don’t seem to grab our learners.
- Many activities in all areas are not getting done
- Many learners sit with their friends and are very distracted during independent learning time
- They are very slow at getting organised when transitioning into a different learning area
