Tried to link each unit to this the model so the learners new how they related

Not Comfortable

shontelle — 2024-11-17 19:35:55 UTC

I was not comfortable Teaching year 9 level this year and still am not. would rather go back to teaching year 7 please.

i found it challenging to engage my learners and did have lots of group dynamic issues that only settled once a learner left OJC, i asked for support but never really got what i was asking for in terms of support.

revisiting it across the year during the topics and looking at what affects the dimensions and how they can be strengthened again

Understanding Hauora

2024-11-17 19:40:24 UTC

I set aside time/days for each wall. I provide the context or prompt/activities and then the learners will express their understanding and application of each wall separately. I also make sure I give time to unpack where each dimension may overlap as well, normalising that often the dimension doesn't exist alone.

Found Year 9 too challenging

shontelle — 2024-11-17 19:41:03 UTC

I was not comfortable with the topics at this year level and asked for support several times but felt i didn't get what i needed, did lots of self investigation but needed more one on one time with experts in this level. In term 4 i combined classes and was much better to teach and plan collaboratively but we self organised this. i do not want to teach year 9 and 10 only junior please.

more time to collaborative plan Hauora would be beneficial moving forward.

Some students let me know about their comfortability around speaking and discussing topics in groups or whole class - even with people they trust. So incorporating activities where learners could do work by themselves and they did not need to be a vocal member of the discussion.

Guidelines

shontelle — 2024-11-17 19:43:09 UTC

what are the have to teach things and what are the MOE must do's.

What resources are good to use with this year level.

Who can i talk to regularly to help with my planning as i don't know if what i taught them is wrong or right?

Engaging Learners

2024-11-17 19:44:03 UTC

It takes time, I build my classes in a way that we take the 'heavier' topics later in the year once the norms, respect and expectations have been set. I work hard on normalising the language that some may find uncomfortable, and have also worked alongside a female coach and split classes for the odd lesson here and there.

Who and When

shontelle — 2024-11-17 19:44:11 UTC

Who can i ask

When i talk with them

the website was limited

i wanted face to face time to plan and never had the time to meet

more of everything but most of all time to plan and sort resources

andrew620 — 2024-11-17 19:44:19 UTC

I think working in LC pairs could really help staff. This doesn't mean students are in one large group with two teachers, but just someone in the same year level that you can plan together.

But, one large group could mean a larger focus on students, as mini-lessons could be utilised for more defined learning and teaching for certain groups of learners, discussions could be better with smaller groups etc.

A growth - creating a safe space for the learners to share their thoughts and feelings.

A challenge - Learner behaviour of some who think Hauora is a 'pointless' class. Not much knowledge or confidence in teaching aspects of the Hauora curriculum, so just winged it.

sam1467 — 2024-11-17 19:46:40 UTC

Collaboration with other staff, PLD opportunities. more access to resources - I have sourced my own as I felt the Hauora website wasn't that helpful. Knowing what should be covered in each topic that aligns with the NZC.
