Professional Growth Cycle, 2023

Professional Growth, 2023 - MATHEMATICS 

Rationale:

2023 brings an abundance of new changes to the NZ curriculum.  This includes NZ Histories; Literacy, Communication, and Maths Strategy; The Common Practice Model. Therefore, I feel it would be beneficial to our kura, colleagues, and whanau to gain a better understanding of these key changes.

As a result of the many changes happening, I’ve decided to focus on being an ‘agent of change’ and support teachers through this process. I have decided to focus on one key curriculum area - Mathematics.  


Strategies to achieve successful outcomes of mathematics.

*Become familiar with the changes to the Curriculum in mathematics

*Support the change of mindsets.

*Build teacher knowledge and capabilities for each of the respective phases of mathematics.

*Become familiar with the assessment processes and tools for Mathematics.

*Facilitate math moderation with Staff, and design moderation templates for teachers to follow.

*Observe teaching practice, giving feedback and feedforward.

*Provide the next steps on how to help improve their practice.

*Facilitate toolkit workshops and sharing of best practices with colleagues.

*Sharing tools and templates to support teachers with their math planning - Term Overview; Back Mapping; Balanced Math Diet.


Expected Outcomes:


*To be confident and precise in the delivery of effective math programs, and teacher pedagogic approaches to

support the sustainability of effective practices within our kura.  This will align with the ‘effective pedagogies model’.

*I will create a visual tool that clearly outlines the expected outcomes for each phase of the math curriculum.

*A common code of effective practices will be introduced to guide and support teachers in their delivery of creating positive learning experiences of mathematics in our school.

One of the new skills I have learnt while attending the Digital Fluency Intensive programme here in Taipa is creating an infographic through google doc's.  I never realised how more visually eye catching it is to read as opposed to the normal boring word document.  They can be used for posters, newsletters, visual aides....actually if you can think it, you can no doubt make it.  I've discovered you just have to jump in and give things a go. Here is an example of my first attempt. Nga mihi to Dorothy Burt and Kerry Boyde-Preece. Looking forward to next week's session.

Math Moderation - Tautoro School

Tautoro School Math Moderation               Term 1                                                                 Term 2 I've come to realise the importance of understanding student data.  It is the basis in which we collaboratively set goals as a school, a syndicate, a teacher, and therefore, as students.  We strive to strategically plan effective learning experiences for our students. As a leader of mathematics, it's important to provide professional learning opportunities for your team and colleagues so they too become proficient in the long-term implementation of effective practices of mathematics. We're fortunate enough to be part of the Kaikohekohe Education Network, which at the moment is focusing on moderating mathematics.  We've designed a student recording sheet that captures the student's thinking.  Furthermore, a teacher's recording sheet that highlights signposts that align with the Math Learning Progressions Framework (LPF's).  Our focus at
