The highlight for me today was the Wellbeing and Resilience talk. As per slides attached.. fulfillment, sleep mastery and thinking were very interesting. Notably, purpose is more important than fullfilment and thinking leads to anxiety, so one is better to stop thinking and instead to focus on tasks!

Learning Progression Framework TEAM MEETING with Jacque Allen
We looked at the learning progression framework today with Jacque. It will be really helpful for illustrations and teacher prompts. We think it needs clearer curriculum levels.

DMIC PLD at Today's Staff Meeting
Arahina - facilitator acknowledged our karakia.
Arahina asked us about connecting with children’s thinking. Children of all ages and levels are able to think and reason informally about mathematical ideas.
Making Mathematical Practices Explicit.pdf
Are you pushing the mathematical practices? What tools will you use to really understand what students are doing?
Look for misconceptions.
Complex listening
Evaluative: Listen for something
Interpretive: understand another’s thinking
Hermeneutic: interpretive or explanatory
How can children’s talk support learning? Helps clarify and organise their thoughts, facilitates personal and collective sense making, supports building connections between representations and multiple strategies..
Productive talk tools - revoicing by teacher and students, teacher asking student to repeat another student’s response, turn and talk, wait time, teacher request students to add on, teacher elicits a student’s reasoning (do you agree/disagree? Why do you think that?)
Empower students by highlighting a strength before directing them to where to next.
Value Mistakes!, value persistence and perseverance.
Reflecting: Talk moves - develop communication and promote active participation, help teacher gauge understanding, helps to reinforce and clarify new concepts.
We need to regularly use mistakes as learning tools, so students know that we appreciate mistakes!

Jacque Allen Team Meeting 17 June
School Writing Goal: To grow student agency in writing.
Drive their learning talk about their learning at school and at home.
We want them to have a voice so they can become independent adn capable of directing their learning.
We want them to build assessment capability in writing so they can be independent participants in their own learning.
Very good conversation around students determining the Success Criteria.
Success criteria should be a transferrable skill (not just specific to THIS task).
Open and Closed Learning Intentions
We worked on examples. Robin and I did a closed learning intentions. Bridget and Elroy did open.
Closed: LI - Spell pural words correctly
SC: Remember - only nouns can be plurals, change y to ies, add"s" to consonant endings, words ending in s, ss, ch, sh, x and z - add es, list the exceptions!
We don't need to always get students to "copy" the LI into their book.
