Testing out formative assessment strategies with 2I and 2J for Dance lesson 30th Jan

1. Work in pairs to develop a movement phrase with locomotor and non-locomotor movements using a combination of shape, level, pathway, force, flow and perform in various position (i.e., meet/part, near/far) and timing (i.e., mirror, match, lead/follow).

More specific and measurable success criteria

• I came up with 3 or more formations in my choreography.

• I am on beat and I have 8 counts

• I have 4 different types of movements in my choreography.

Question:

• should these be given in worksheet form? coz they cannot write properly yet. Esp. P1-P2

• how can these be executed during lesson?

>> Prepare feedback form (3 Praises, 2 questions and 1 suggestion for consideration) --> as a way of thanking them for opening up their classroom to you.

Picking out pe pedagogy from the colleagues lessons - either AFG and things they do well.

AFG are also good learning points.

Go in with Melissa to assess and observe the class.

• 1 year plan for 4 Integrity based on the All ear forms check-in feedback form:

  • Making healthy friendships and setting healthy boundaries

  • Conflict resolution methods

  • Good touch and bad touches/ how to set safe boundaries among friends, family and strangers

  • Individual goal setting and reinforcing instrinsic motivation for personal growth

    
    

Making learning can be more tangible and transferable for students

• Ensuring that there is little disconnect between the skills that is taught and how the students can transfer their skills between different games and lessons and even application to life situations.

  
  

Ascertaining the learning abilities of 1 Integrity (updated)

• Making simple assessment sheets for evidence of learning

• Ascertaining their abilities by exact skill based on success criteria and by the task, not obedience.

Personal developmental purpose

>> Plans to observe colleagues pedagogy teaching and learning from them (part of BT mentoring for homework to learn from colleagues)

>> Prepare feedback form (3 Praises, 2 questions and 1 suggestion for consideration) --> as a way of thanking them for opening up their classroom to you.

• Picking out pe pedagogy from the colleagues lessons - either AFG and things they do well.

3. Learn from New teachers Bhanu on how to use Goosechase App

I’d want to live them like never before.

And you, dear Mel, you’ve shown me how,

To live life fully, here and now.

You’re always there, no matter the day, even if you only had seconds to stay,

Squeezing the hashbrowns into your mouth, while making your seat warm for only awhile.

Your mouth is busy eating but your ears are there, to listen without judgment and giving your time

You always have the right words, the right face and presence, to bring comfort like a little present.

Your strength shines bright, yet you’re unafraid, To share your truths, the scars you’ve made.

You listen intently, without a trace

Of judgment or doubt, just endless grace.

When life feels heavy, your voice is clear,

With feedback that helps me conquer my fears.

You never laughed nor sneered even with my nonsense trepidation.

You live with kindness, with open heart,

And teach me how to make a start—

To live with purpose, to love, to be

The best version of the real me.

You taught me strength in moments of fear,

To face the unknown, to persevere

You taught me how to rise above (gossips),

And fill my days with hope and love.

You showed me grace in every fall,

That failure's just a lesson, after all.

You taught me that I hold the key

To live my life authentically.

In every challenge, you've had my back,

Guiding me when the path turned black

You've given me more than words can say - A mentor, a light to show the way.

So, if thirty years is all I’ve got,

I’ll live them fully, without a second thought,

Because you’ve shown me what life’s about,

so live I will try to live it well, even if I have second doubts.
