MIT - KPMG Session Two

KPMG Session Two 

Whats working? Students Reading Results are shifting.

Whats not? The tool- I have created a framework to use in reading but feel like I have reinvented the wheel. What I have created is nothing new.

What do I need help with? The framework and getting outside my box. Seeing what other clusters and schools are doing in Reading.

PD- Sheena Cameron Reading comp- Are using her posters to drive my framework thinking.
What questions do I want to ask?

What impact do I have on my learners? Why we believe what we believe? 
Student agency
Intrically motivated- believing in them- giving them opportunities to take risks/giving things a go.
Relationship building
Respect and empathy key



Below are notes from the catalyst core education game. Someone was recording what I was saying:
Catalyst - Core Education
TEAM MEMBER:  Rebecca (critical thinking in reading

Lots of new learning - but finding that she needs to be careful on who she talks to.  And wanting to get out there and visit new ones.

Trialing lots of new things

Feels that it is important to get out of her bubble and go wider and deeper - critical thinking in reading is very important.

Questions.

Where did you get the idea that critical thinking  in reading was the way to go - data showed disengagement

This lead to a change in thinking from stem based to reading based as this is where the problem really was. - learning circles creates discussions that will help them.  Trialed sentence starters to help scaffold - They still need this so they can experience success.

Research-engaged with - needing to find this - looked at clusters data feedback and looking at literacy - people are having the same problems

Research on reciprocal reading would help.  Dani - also Rebecca Jenson - wide and deep text reading.
Also Angela Moala

What might will this mean to students - kids keen, need scaffolding - Fight over roles (good) - them becoming the leaders of their learning - not revolving around the teacher - increase mana no matter what role they take.  - Will look at visiting Danny who is doing this reciprocal reading to build

Have you looked at the models you use to teach?  Are you explicit? - Not consistently  - This can be an area for a big change if you are modeling how it can be done.  Co-constructing and what it looks like for them.  Struggling with time out of class to ensure that this consistently.

How are we going to learn more about the changes you are making - making blog posts - so far I have been surface but need to go deeper - take some time to focus.
