learning process - supporting language capability

What led to this learning?
That learners were not able to articulate how they learn using the learning process. So I designed a tool for learners to support them with knowing the verbs and unpacking their understanding of them.
Summary of learning design:
This tool can be used across all learning areas, I have especially used this in Writing. It is digital tool or can be used as a paper copy for learners to decide which verbs are going to help them learn a specific learning progression or cluster of progressions. It also gives learners the opportunities to talk about what the verbs mean.
Reflection on Learning Design

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.

Using the Agency Survey to Track Shift

What led to this learning? My Numeracy group took the Agency Survey at the beginning of the year. When I reviewed the results I noticed the group was lowest in the area of assessment capability. Summary of learning design: I decided to focus on using the Learning Process to build my learners' ability to use feed back and take action. Some ways of implementation were as follows: ~ SchoolTalk Checkout before leaving workshops or Numeracy for the day. ~ Using teacher created and learner created Success Criteria ~ Shoulder tap and choice workshops through whole hub Numeracy ~ Choice grouping when working on independent learning tasks ~ SchoolTalk Thursdays ~ Students paired up by teachers to receive feedback on what they are uploading onto SchoolTalk Reflection on Learning Design My initial assumptions were inaccurate and somewhat incomplete. I should have looked deeper in to the survey, as well as at more students, possibly even waited a bit longer to get to know my st...

Stop, Collaborate and Listen

What led to this learning? Year 7/8 Learners were reluctant to collaborate with learners outside of their immediate friend group. We wanted to build into their learning the concept of diverse perspectives. Summary of learning design: Learners were told that the world was about to be hit by an asteroid and they had to design a future colony on Mars! Learners were assigned a group and had to research and pitch an idea for how they believed the colony should work Reflection on Learning Design This went really well for some, but not equally well for everyone! 'Below' and 'At' literacy learners demonstrated a significant shift (up to 16%) in their self perception of collaboration whereas Above and Well Above learners didn't respond as well. Boys also shifted way more positively than girls, despite girls having a higher self perception to start with.
