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.

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.

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.

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...
