Week Six - Curriculum Areas Reflections & Assessment

It has become clear that students learning is progressing steadily in numeracy, however it seems to be more challenging in reading and writing. This could be due to the interest levels of students in these areas; they all enjoy maths and lack interest in writing. It is also a result of minimal full classroom days this week. On reflection, it is clear that next week needs to again have similar learning focuses in reading and writing (continuing with the thinking hats and wrapping up persuasive writing). In numeracy we can move forward into finding fractions of amounts and try to wrap up the fraction, decimal & percentage unit with a form of summative assessment.

In terms of my teaching, the biggest success was in getting group rotations sorted and finding a way to manage these effectively so I can maintain targeted group learning. In numeracy this has been very beneficial. I now need to work towards how I can improve targeted group learning and maximise their discussions and justifications within these sessions.

Here are links to the reflections and formative assessment in each main curriculum area.
