Minutes by Shona
All the Y5 and 6 have taken off from where they left off last year.
When my writers are given enough time, they are editing more- underlining words.
Purpose of a plan.
Results of our survey- children helping each other to complete survey- more relaxed getting feedback with peer support. Cool linking bet reading and writing
Discussed “What a good writer does”- didn’t give up.
Playing with words.
Simplifying the criteria.
Fun seeing what kids do write.
Letter formation on whiteboard every morning- helps with flow and ease of mechanics
Creative writing- originality
Goal setting meetings- kids know next steps
Megan sharing writing after goal setting was great- knew why she was sharing her writing.
Conversation around purpose and audience at goal setting meetings very useful.
Targets from last year.
Look at in own time.
Page 7 Data and disparity info. New targets (in blue) now that Nat Stds gone- “acceleration”- tightening up targets. The ones we are monitoring are girls not meeting expectations, maori not meeting expectations, boys not meeting expectations. All names will be included and a small target group will be identified. Use 2017 data for baseline data. To be completed “together”.
Individual TAI- look at writers in group and see what they are already doing, to determine own TAI. Plan for next week’s writing- who needs a stretch? who isn’t where we thought they were? Think about a shorter TAI- eg termly. ERO recommendation. How much alignment might there be between TAIs with teachers? Could pass TAI on to another group if appropriate.
Purpose of today_ get info ready to share with teams- what are needs of specific kids- eg. how goal setting at beginning of sessions affects writing.
Teams for TAI discussions.
Writing Inquiry template from Nic- make a copy for own inquiry.
Identify focus- done today.
Create own TAI and aim to complete by mid term 2 therefore 3 TAIs in a year completing each mid term (2, 3 and 4). Is this making a difference or not? If not, then change.
Aim for the “LIfting it up”- sharing mid term.
Think about “Hunches” for Thursday. Do you agree?
Questions we want to Inquire into:
1.Do our students know have an audience to write to/for?
Are they clear about the purpose for writing?
Do we plan for ‘audience’?
2.How do our attitudes towards writing influence our students?
How would developing the literary culture amongst staff affect achievement?
3. How can knowledge of themselves as learners (learning to learn) impact on writing achievement?
How can we develop student agency in writing?
What is the impact of having clear writing goals and regular reflection?
How many goals at a time?
What is the impact of feedback on development of writers?
How can students develop their critical eye as writers?
4. How do we extend willing writers?
