Term One - Totara / Kauri Community Tutor Inquiry by Shirley Closey https://padlet.com/sclosey/5o5fc9iey8d5 Made with fortitude en-us 2019-04-29 09:28:27 UTC 2019-04-29 20:58:39 UTC hello@padlet.com What are some of the new strategies you brought into tutorial in Term 1 which worked well for you and your tutees? sclosey https://padlet.com/sclosey/5o5fc9iey8d5/wish/354935243 eg. quiz, trello board, students collaborating, relationship building activities, NCEA trackers, tracking attendance, etc.

TJEN - seating plan 

WLR: Conversations: kept up with what was going on with each student.  These were sometimes very  structure, other times quite casual.  

A number of students chose no to come regularly to the tutorial. Often, I have to chase them up. However, those in class are consistently required to start with their NCEA tracker and notify me if there is anything they need to do in order to improve their achievement record. 
Students often are asked to work on any outstanding tasks.

Yes - what do you attribute this to? No - why do you think this is? sclosey https://padlet.com/sclosey/5o5fc9iey8d5/wish/354935462 Most of my students are working well but a couple are struggling with the structure. CST

My students are most of the time staying in my tutor class. The ones who aren't are not showing up at all. I think this is because of the set up of my where they sit. FRE



Some of my students are still moving around a lot. They seem less likely to move when they are allowed to work on whatever they like. Movement is greater when we are doing something that they perhaps don't see the 'value' in. MFD

A couple of my students like to wander, but the bigger issue is accruing 'guest' tutor students from other tutor groups... This might be because we are near the stairwell. JLN.

It is the same students who struggle to maintain focus and have a tendency to wander...especially if they are interrupted by friends.  TRBS 


TCHA - Not sure tbh. Attendance - Probably better with some and not as good with others. Haven't looked at the average across the group.
Engagement - this generally increases during the year as relationships develop. This has been the case for some of my tutees this year.]]> 2019-04-29 09:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sclosey/5o5fc9iey8d5/wish/354935462 Tutor Sessions TMFD bmilfordashs https://padlet.com/sclosey/5o5fc9iey8d5/wish/355206679 Engagement: Some of my students are still moving around a lot.

Strategies: Seating Charts (worked well), the Quiz (they're loving it), having a shared "Learner Conversations" doc where the student and I record our conversations about their Specialist Subjects and their goals. They also use this document each session to record what they are focusing on and what they want to achieve in the 100 minutes. ]]> 2019-04-29 20:42:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sclosey/5o5fc9iey8d5/wish/355206679
