Agency in Maths

What led to this learning?
Following on from my learners increasing their assessment capabilities in measurement last term, I wanted them to use their knowledge gained and apply it in an agentic way. (Taking action)
Summary of learning design:
Leaners are to plan a 2 week road trip, for themselves and a friend, around New Zealand during the summer holidays, using a variety of learned skills and concepts including: Length / Distance Timetables Time (12 hr and 24hr) Money They will have a budget of $2500 and be able to cover 4000km They will need to take into account concepts related to measurement such as: Kms travelled, accommodation, cost of activities, meals food etc.

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.

Fire and the Flood - Developing a New Community

What led to this learning? This learning came out of observations from Term 1, where we saw limited acts of deliberate collaboration within our learners. When they did choose to collaborate, it was within their close peer friendship groupings and was more of a working alongside each other, rather than collaborating based on differentiated strengths to meet a shared goal. We wanted a learning experience where learners would be forced to rely on each other in order to succeed and give a shared emphasis on each learner playing their own unique part to realise communal success (or survival in this case.) Summary of learning design: This was the initial learning design where we brainstormed what kinds of facilities we might need in a new settlement. This was the prerequisite to the physical construction and town layout design. I have also included my amended Google draw reflection which was part of the later planning refining process.

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.
