BP4 : Evidence, Data and Preliminary Findings - Teaching Strategies

by Hinerau - 13:58

Begin to collect evidence and data and come to the next session ready to share your preliminary findings about the nature and extent of the student challenge i.e. using your baseline student data and evidence

My target group of learners for my Inquiry 2020 will be my Year 11 NCEA Level 1 class. I intend inquiring into the process of using the LearnCoach online programs (content) and VTaL Visible Teaching and Learning (workflow) to accelerate student achievement for Tamaki College students undertaking courses in Digital Technologies NCEA Levels 1, 2 and 3.

Evidence from Teaching Strategies

The following is a slide deck of teaching strategies that I applied with those in my target who attended class online in a particular lesson last week. I have gained feedback in a hangout session with Technology teachers about the strategies that I applied to that session. I need to reflect back on the feedback, and that particular teaching segment, to help identify preliminary findings about the nature and extent of the student challenge.

Evidence from Kamar

In order to track the formative feedback of where each of our learners is tracking 'within' standards, I have established a DGT - Student Standard Data Update 2020 Sheet. The sheet includes information about the learner including gender, ethnicity etc. It often enables me to conduct discussions with students relating to career interests and pathways, as well as where they have come from if they are new to the school. The sheet shows the standards that a student is entered into. The main difference being that colour codes can be applied to the sheet to indicate which standard is being work on, and where about in the standard that the student is at.

EDIT: During the lockdown period, I had planned an activity for my Year 11 students, to comment on how they felt about me inquiring into their learning. The activity involved the students reading through the above blog post, and answering the following question, and publish the response as a blog comment.

How do you feel, as a learner, that I am inquiring into your class, to help you and your class to achieve?

It feels great having Mrs. Anderson in my class. She’s been helping out us students to learn in the best way we want to learn. She’s really good at explaining the work when we don’t understand during our classes and I’m very glad to have her as my DigiTech teacher to help me get my NCEA Level 1 credits.

About Me

Kia ora! I am the Head of Technology at Tāmaki College and also teach Digital Technologies.

My target group of learners for my Inquiry 2021 will be my Year 12 NCEA Level 2 class. This group of learners were my target group from my 2020 Inquiry. I would like to inquire into whether Academic Writing exemplars specific to Digital Technologies, in conjunction with the 'Explanation Writing' classroom display resources for Digital Technologies, based on SOLO taxonomy, could accelerate achievement in literacy in my subject.

My target group of learners for my Inquiry 2020 were my Year 11 NCEA Level 1 class. I inquired into the process of using the LearnCoach online programs (content) and VTaL Visible Teaching and Learning (workflow) to accelerate student achievement for Tamaki College students undertaking courses in Digital Technologies NCEA Levels 1, 2 and 3.

In 2019, my inquiry is to maximise pedagogical practices (relating to integrated education, and collaborative teaching and learning), to effectively shift student achievement, supported by digital platforms connected to visible teaching and learning.

My Inquiry in 2018, was to develop a VTaL Purpose-Built Innovative Tool, to enable all elements of the VTaL Framework to be accessible to teachers, in order to accelerate student achievement.

In 2017, my inquiry was based on raising student achievement and shifting teacher practice around effective pedagogical practices including Learn, Create and Share. This will be achieved through the development, implementation and monitoring of the Visible Teaching and Learning Framework.
