Fast and wiggly

What led to this learning?
I was noticing that learners weren't able to respect other learner's personal bubbles. This learning was introduced to help tactile learners make good decisions for themselves without impacting others.
Summary of learning design:
My learning design introduced movements that the learners can agentically do within the hub when they feel like they need to move or they have an urge to touch someone. Their are a number of different movements big and small that they can choose from on the wall.
Reflection on Learning Design
I introduced quite a few new concepts and movements all at once, on reflection a little too many! Next time I will introduce the concept over consecutive days. We have however, used the visuals and the concept quite often over the last month and the learners know they can go and choose an activity off the board to do when they feel 'fast and wiggly'. Some learners are also actively asking to do a 'fast and wiggly' activity when they are feeling like they need it! It feels like a positive agentic addition to our learners toolkit to help them manage their own emotions.

Reading Strategies - Growing Vocabulary

What led to this learning? I noticed learners did not have resources to drive their own learning when developing an understanding of their reading strategies. Summary of learning design: I designed these cards to empower learners to grow their own vocabulary while practising their reading strategies. These can be used for learners to ask each other questions or during intentional workshops with the teacher. Reflection on Learning Design This has grown Literacy language with the learners. I realised that I can not do all the strategies at once. During workshops with a teacher I have been focusing on using one reading strategy with the whole group. Eventually or with learners who already know some of the strategies, you could use more than one strategy card.

Grow my voice - Sharing stories

What led to this learning? When using the reading strategies I posted in a previous comment I noticed that learners did not have an authentic place to record their reading strategies. Summary of learning design: So I created a blog where the learners could record and share their reflections of stories. They record their story then write a blog post including the following elements - reading strategies, levels and genres. So the learners are developing their assessment capability as well as learning from other learners and their reflections. Reflection on Learning Design Learners have grown in their vocabulary and this is mainly due to seeing the reflections of other learners and how they are phrasing their blog posts as well as using the reading strategies to extend their writing.

Increasing assessment capability in Maths

What led to this learning? Learners not having a genuine awareness of their gaps and next steps Summary of learning design: Learners took test in one specific area of Maths (measurement), Marked their own answers (with support and guidance). Highlighted their gaps. Correlated these gaps with LI across Levels 3 - 5. Created personalised learning progressions. Able to access worksheets etc. which linked to their personal gaps. Able to understand which workshop they needed to attend. Tracked own progress. Reflection on Learning Design If I had used the Agency Tool beforehand (specifically for assessment capability) then that would have been great! Instead gave them a Google Form related to their self-efficacy and passion in (related to my TAI) which saw positive shift.
