Today we had our end of unit exam. I have to say that it was generally okay but I got caught out on graphing and youtube videos. I am one of the few that didn't pass the exam, but I am still more than happy with what I have got out of the course. I have embraced the Manaiakalani kaupapa and feel empowered to create more transparent and differentiated learning, for students to share with their whanau and their peers. A great experience, and one that will last through my teaching career.
One great thing that came out of today was discussing keeping in contact with Dave at Mangonui and establishing greater links between the two schools. We thought about a termly catch up at the Waterfront between all staff. Possibly collaborating between schools with lesson study, looking forward.
Sorry to hear you didn't pass. I know you have learnt so much throughout this PD. It's not all about the final result!! Great idea to collaborate with Mangonui School. We are so close and I know staff have really enjoyed it when we have worked with them before. Catch up at the waterfront sounds like a great idea. I think it also puts a great message out in the community, that we are schools working together for all students, not competing.
