Compass of Shame Workshop 21.6.16 with Sandy Hastings

Copy of presentation: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1AuTXexiFH1_q6qkJidK75kRsXE5OSzbpP-5CjGMT7zM/edit#slide=id.g834f60235_0_422


This workshop looked at responses that people have to problems, or doing something 'wrong'. The thing they see as 'wrong' may only be wrong in their eyes...eg self-blame for accidentally breaking something. 

I learnt about to focus on helping students realise they are not the problem. The behaviour (if purposeful e.g. saying mean things to another person) is the problem. 

General reactions to making a mistake / doing something 'wrong':
* Attack self
* Attack others
* Withdrawal
* Avoidance

Use language, restorative chats and facial gestures (i.e. interest versus judgement or dislike) to help students move past shame (seeing self as problem) to guilt (seeing the behaviour as the problem),

Supporting Diverse Learners (RTLB Feedback and Support) April 2022

The Situation This year, our team has a group of diverse learners who we are working collaboratively to support.  We have access to Resource Teachers: Learning & Behaviour (RTLBs) assistance for this. Two RTLBs observed our lessons during term 1, and we also undertook student surveys with 16 students (half considered diverse, half not diverse). Their feedback is as follows. We are exploring how we might use a more UDL style of approach to support these, and indeed all of our students. Student Voice: Survey Results from whole cohort Student Voice: Survey Results for my  home group RTLB Observations Feedback From RTLBs and Team Discussion Some of the positives noted:  High level of teacher attention on appropriate rather than inappropriate behaviour  Students are scaffolded to complete tasks and reach success, at times with 'first, then'. Students have access and are encouraged to use a range of learning tools e.g. visual timetable, fidgets, wobble cushion Teachers...

Te Reo Term 2

Over the last fortnight, I have looked at how I can increase Te Reo in my practise.  I have done this by: * Making more use of Te Reo for instructions e.g. "Kia tere!";  "Homai te...(pene etc)"; "E noho."  * Using Te Reo more for greetings with students' whaanau and students themselves * Ensuring there are more Te Reo books in our class library shelf * Observing and utilising Sherilee's (weekly Te Reo teacher) examples, and checking my pronunciation with her  * Including more waiata in class e.g. Matariki waiata, Ka Kite waiata * Allowing for more output  opportunities e.g. practising our greeting during roll call * Ensuring we say the karakia every day I found information on providing students with ooportunities for input  and output informed my practice: http://hereoora.tki.org.nz/Teachers-notes/Teaching-te-reo-Maori-effectively and great resources for Te Reo Week 2-10 July here:  http://www.tetaurawhiri.govt.nz/what-we-do/events-a...
