Learner Agency in Reading

One way in which Jody and I have tried to accelerate learning through our collaborative teaching, is by sharing the teaching of reading for the akonga in our learning hub (Piripono 2).

So I have taken a larger group of 28 which she has taken the other 20 in a smaller group.

This term I had my group do an asttle reading test and then analyse their own learning pathway to establish goals, then to make an action plan as to how to achieve their reading goals.

It's been successful for the more self-directed, self-monitoring learners, but there has been a group of approx. 8 who I have had to very much guide through the process, which can be frustrating!

It's been great to see the independence and self-direction from a lot of the others though.

Here is Sophia's action plan..
