So on Sunday morning I get a call from my lovely partner in crime (Teaching buddy) asking... "did you know you are listed as presenting on Tuesday?" UMMM NO! I even had to ask what was I actually meant to be presenting, as I had no idea.
This was a chance to share our mini-inquiries that we completed last year. I was partnered up with Debra Wallace from Kaikohe West and she did an amazing job of operating the technology, time keeping, and adding little bits as we went. Thanks Deb!
Initially Jane talked to us and led us into our PLG presentation today, she shared with us a snapshot of our collective data that we would then look over in greater detail. Teachers then split off into 2 groups that were to swap over mid way.
Student Agency - Raewyn and Mattie
First we listened to Raewyn and Mattie present their mini inquiry on student agency.
Vocabulary and Language building - Kariene and Deb
This presentation went well. It was great hearing about the different levels and ways to enhance language across the curriculum and also across the different age ranges and schools. It was fantastic to hear how we have all begun moving our practices to those that encourage and enhance this language. Was blown away by many of the secondary schools and how they also were continue to extend vocabulary even a their level.
Lots of focused discussion and sharing.
