CREATING HIGH EXPECTATIONS
Christine Rubie-Davis
Thoughts from previous session shared by others (Missed due to our school TOD)
* Wait time - giving all students time to process and give answers
* Mixed ability grouping

'When we believe we can achieve something, we're much more likely to'
BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER
* Some evidence of teacher bias both explicit and implicit
* Ministry initiatives may have reduced explicit bias
* Still a gap between the achievement of Maori and Pakeha.
ENHANCING MOTIVATION IN THE CLASSROOM
* Giving students a voice and allowing choice
* Regular monitoring
* Setting goals and re-setting goals
* Self-monitoring
* Learning intentions
Goal Setting
REFLECTION
How will I set a high expectation classroom?
* Adding to our Pathway goal setting with more specific steps for achieving/working towards their goals and a specific time frame. I have set up a template via google slides to make this more user friendly for the students. Planning to start these tomorrow ready for sharing with parents on Thursday at Parent/Student/Teacher Interviews.
* Focus on Mixed ability groups for all topics rather than just the ones that suit it easily.
* Learn more about backgrounds and interests of my students rather than just the superficial/easy to know stuff.
