The focus for Day 9 was around sharing reading, and the importance of involving whānau and family and building a reading community. These don't just happen, and there needs to be a plan to try and make sure it happens. The reason for sharing what is happening in class is simple:
This puts the onus back on us as teachers as tasks we set need to be authentic, they need to have some value to the learner, as they are going to share their ideas/thinking/learning with others. To show that it is valued the learner should receive quality feedback. Feedback should remind, scaffold and model so that the learner knows what has been done well and where to go next.
Hopefully we are building a reading community.
Kia ora Wayne,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your thinking about sharing! Thanks also for your valuable contributions in our breakout group, it's been awesome to hear how you've been getting on with your learners, and how their extended discussion skills have been growing. All the best moving forward, and please do keep in touch.
