A weekly award in assembly or in year level meetings could boost those students who need a little something extra. Academic performance could be recognised as well as cultural strengths like singing , sport and community involvement. https://padlet.com/stephen_huth/LORDSblueskythinking/wish/115116204 2016-06-21 04:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_huth/LORDSblueskythinking/wish/115116204 Languages Centre jenny_vanengelen https://padlet.com/stephen_huth/LORDSblueskythinking/wish/115117129 A place where students are comfortable conversing with others in Japanese.

This would help students appreciate community members and contribute by showing gratitude by using their skill to create a product which is valued by a key role in the community.
It would work even better if we had a CNC laser cutter :-)]]> 2016-06-21 04:43:06 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_huth/LORDSblueskythinking/wish/115117392 We need to sit down and nut out clear scope and sequencing per subject, to ensure that essentials are covered, that there is cohesion, that there is balance, that there is ample time for formative work and detailed feedback, that there is allowance for vastly varied differentiation, so that every student can clearly see success. It needs to allow for the time for students to regularly reflect on their learning and identify that they are indeed, developing (students understand that the process/journey is important - growth mindsets over fixed mindsets). Quality over quantity will pay off. https://padlet.com/stephen_huth/LORDSblueskythinking/wish/115117427 2016-06-21 04:43:38 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_huth/LORDSblueskythinking/wish/115117427
