Making sure that all plans from 7-10 include The Understand of UKD and the strand level in them. Front loading is very important so that the skills required for independent learning and their end goal on their own place n the curriculum level is reached and acheivable

Saskia went in to observe a Year 9 Socials lesson with Mel. The students were working on an assessment for 'Cultural Adventures'. The task was based on the idea that Tamaki Makaurau is a 'fruit salad' of cultures. The unit of work includes aspects of law around immigration which ties in well with the Year 8 current unit of work on 'Law and Order'
Different assessment tasks/options were evident on Mel's classroom wall and her students could clearly explain the purpose behind the set task and seemed motivated by the topic. Many had personal by-in.
The task gave the students autonomy in which culture they chose to focus on and how they presented their learning.

This is the bread and butter of Social Studies. It is embedded in everything that we do. There is always writing involved and tasks that require either the creation of graphs, infographics, searching for information in documents. The creating of their own questions to research and reflecting on how the process of their research went all require literacy skills.

We will be using the Mana model to ensure that a holistic view of the students is included in the wellbeing of students across all subjects as is expected in 2024. Books relating to this have all been ordered by Sally for the Kahui team and Sam.

PLAN:
Take recent Numeracy Questions and turn each question into a re-contextualised version for other subjects to make them relevant for current topic of inquiry.
E.G PE class asks students to find the percentage of how many shots they can get in.

Formalised (one A4 or DESMOS-based "SIGNPOST ACTIVITIES" based on the Numearcy Structure allowing students to quickly and conveniently show their ability with the Numeracy Outcomes.

IDENTIFICATION AND JUSTIFICATION OF MATHS OUTSIDE OF A MATH LESSON.

Term three allowed me to meet up with Sam and work on the precise nature of the requirements in our curriculum to rubric level achievements. For example P.E. for the 5km run we would normally just give their run time a mark, but breaking down our rubric requirements this last term with Sam allowed a thorough dive into explaining the fitness behind the run and the lead up fitness to the run which students need to add to their assessment in a paragraph and as a graph with results. This holistic teaching of the fitness aspect has really improved the understanding of the teaching across the levels 3-6 in the curriculum and how each aspect in a level must be ticked off before a student can move up so that the foundations are understood for each student.

Gail met with Sarah O'Donnell at the end of 2023 to go through the planning for each term of 2024 in year 7 and 8 across the curriculum and how these connected with the new mental Health curriculum. We connected the strands and will relay these back to teachers for 2024 so that they can incorporate in their planning.

What have we done/What do we want to do?

Communication - Observations of year 7, meetings, shared docs and rubrics. In 2024, create level 2 rubric and poster for year 7, consolidate what foundations are needed by the time akonga get to year 9/10.

Consistency - shared rubric, posters and planning. Need to moderate assessments across year levels.

Understanding - Need to look at what content each year level is covering - covering all bases.

Literacy and Numeracy - Main focus of rubric. Explicitly teaching and practices specific skills in numeracy and literacy.

Posters - what is contained within each level? Posters like these for each level (Levels 1 - 13) so teachers can see at a glance where various concepts are. I do not teach one stage at a time. I consider what I am teaching - eg report writing - and then I choose appropriate concepts to go over according to the written genre we are exploring. This makes it much easier to see at a glance where to find the appropriate learning tasks. Will save the folder on drive in middle school.

Screenshots being compiled in my classroom at the start of the year showing sentence graph and dashboard for each students as well as their first piece of writing. I know other Year 7 classes have done similar.

Good for students to speak to about their progress and next steps. Evidence-based.

Would like to see Writers Toolbox actually have a function in place to compile this for students and teachers.

Would then look at mid year compilation and an end of year compilation to track progress. Example attached.

If it works well would be good to see it become a part of Middle School evidence-gathering and Academic Conference discussion. Thoughts?

Positive day all around. We discussed the flow from 7-10 and the in 7/8 the need for getting students active from teachers should be main target. Looked at inclusion of Literacy and numeracy in planning. Took a walk around the P.E. department. Noted that both senior and middle school are short of space now and smart spatial planning is needed. Spoke to Anton and will look at adding some pickleball lines and touch zone lines to courts for more options. Sam has great resources to share with teachers unsure of skills teaching for new and old games and is happy to share.
