BOT meeting

 

 Due to being a digital curriculum innovator I had to present to the board what I was doing for the school. This slides helped me to present what I need to be said. It states what I have been doing and my current goal for this role.

Due to maybe being  curriculum that is not so visible . The leaders (DP and Principal )of our school have suggested me to do more as it is very difficult for this subject to do more rather not having my accessible time.
I would do teach digital technology to students across the school because i am quite passionate doing this. However for this project to happen I would need support. For it for example not having my PCT day on Friday where senior students get to choose their options on Friday. I would like to do a on going project ( that I have stated on the slides) with those students but being told my PCT is on Friday It won't work.
Leadership: In able for me or other curriculum innovators to do their passion and be the leader innovator, they will need to make it work. Not just say I need to do more they need to allow me to do these passion project consistently. Not just talk the talk. Walk the talk.

Email to Principal

 Hi,

I'm just sharing you this link where I have been taking photos of Mindstorm sessions.
Feel free to use these photos in our Newsletter.

Reflection Term 2: 11 students have been attending mindstorm sessions 10 students year 5 and 1 student year 7.

Due to limited kit one group is using Junior mindstorm kit and two other groups are using the Education Mindstorm kit. I have emailed Pam about the Mindstorm education kit. Currently there are 4 mindstorm kits. However only 2 are able to use.  Teacher who have used it last year used two other kits but there is nothing inside to use everything is mixed from other legos pieces. I have searched in our staff room and asked Jill and Pam aswell but nothing solved. Other two kits are totally new and not used therefore we are using it with total care. I'm checking it every session that its goes back appropriately so that next year it's still usable as the kits are very expensive. I think the teacher that used it last year have been missed used therefore other two Education Mindstorm kits are just gone. Happy to discuss further if needed.

The students are enjoying Mindstorm session and totally engaged. We have started doing unit tasks for the students to do. Term 3 we will continue with the Mindstorm unit tasks.

Kind Regards
Samuel

This email was to just send an email what I have been doing and some help from what I need to do.
However no reply back. But from the meeting front of other innovator that I need to do more and not doing enough.

I feel like no communication was there and just got picked on. 

PCT release week 9

 Learning block one: I have to complete my learning goals for my students report.

Learning block two: I will update my teaching professional goals blog. Update all the learning aspect that connects to the standard and code upload them with a statement. Also  

Learning block three : Planning for term 3 week 1 activities. Its the Olympic season . Therefore making a choice board for the students to do will help us settle into the term. 
The website NZ olympic has many resources to teach about.

Term 2 PCT observation and feedback and feed forward

Evaluations/reflections
Thank you for observing my lesson. Overall I think the lesson went well as the student had a great knowledge about what it was and experienced it from our Powhiri. Kieran was off during my lesson and I tried to make Kieran get involved in a manner where it won’t distract other students. Next time I will get the timer ready when I said that I will give you 10 minutes. I would use the timer to let the students and myself know. When the early finish students sat down I forgot about the further extension that the student could do.
They came to the mat too early and practiced their Pepeha and sat down for a long period of time.
Next time they will continue doing their extension work and when the time is up I will  get all the students on the mat and practice their Pepeha in pairs. Then choose 5 random students to present their pepeha to the class.
Jesscia (mentor - Thank you for your precise feedback and feedforward.)

Collaborative report writing

As a team we have written our report. By writing our report in this doc helps us to see if our report was consistent. Also because we both know the students we could make our judgement easier to write.

PCT Term 2 Week 9 (Due to not having PCT Release on Friday Week 8)

 Today I will be writing reports.

I still need to do write the learning disposition and student reflections.
I will start by writing the students reflections and try to get it done by today 

Today was a good day to spend my report writing.  I got to finish student reflection today during my PCT release.
