So, my teaching as inquiry focus seems to be making an impact with my students, and particularly my target students. In the last week of last term I gave the students their levels, showed them how to use the exemplars on the walls and got them to start creating a 4 stars and a wish style report. The four stars were what they could do well and the wish was in effect their next step.
The language we used for the 4 stars was:
I can...
I am able to...
With help I can...
I am working hard to...
The wish was:
I am working towards...
This is one example from my target students' self assessed reports
Looks good Rob and I would imagine relatively straightforward for most students to complete. It'll make a nice blog post for students too that will let their parents see how the progress they're making. 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Kerry. Yes, I have started sharing the goal setting process with parents, both at our Whanau-Kauri Partnership sessions and 3 way conferences. When I am confident that we are getting traction we will start sharing on student blogs.
