BACKGROUND

  Some years ago we instigated a series of classroom observations and
    discussions known as numeracy natters, literacy looks, formative
  chats…. to name but a few focus areas. Your feedback on what you
   would like to see more of in 2012, coupled with current literature
  suggests we need to re-ignite classroom visits with greater purpose.

    Brief of this trial: Groups of teachers work together to refine
individual lessons, jointly planning, executing and then evaluating
 different instructional strategies for achieving a specific learning
objective. This approach will enable teachers to share best practice,
   learn from each others strengths and weaknesses, and jointly
             develop and disseminate excellent practice.
STAGES - PLANNING

 of formative practice.

• Choices
Identifying the context or nature of the actual
   lesson. (What is going to be taught….content). Is
   this going to be whole class or small group?

Collaborative writing


       Focus - giving & receiving feedback/quality dialogue


       Small group


   Wanting to develop the depth and quality of writing


   Acting on feedback


   Recognising what they need to do to get better - using the criteria


   Peer and self-evaluation


   Time
BONES/STRUCTURE
     What are the stages of the lesson? What will happen first? Next?
      Student review? children? (What will they actually be doing)?
Starter
   to set the scene for the learning with the purpose of motivating and engaging students.
Reflection
   Reflecting on the starter.
Learning/Task Overview - The Journey & Purpose (including the WHY)
   What are we going to be do and why is this something we are learning.
Setting and sharing the learning intentions
   What is the learning focus?
Modelling and Examples
   Clarifying the intended learning, distinguishing between what you want them to learn and how you want them
   to learn it.
   Explicit teaching
What will we need to do to be successful?
   Begin to develop success criteria.
Task Instruction
Checking Clarity
   What are we learning to do? (this occurs more than once)
   Referring to intention and/or criteria e.g. stop/drop and come to the mat
Engaging in Rich Conversations and Feedback (including questioning)
Differentiating
Evaluating/Wrap Up
   So how did we go? Where to next? Next learning steps - making connections to other areas...
CONTEXT/CONTENT
              What are the stages of the lesson? What will happen first? Next?
               Student review? children? (What will they actually be doing)?


Starter (to set the scene for the learning with the purpose of motivating and engaging students.)
     read the story ‘FOX’ by Margaret Wild prior to the 30 minutes lesson
     Journey is communicated with the students - we are using this story to...
     Kids CAN choose to identify/record the level of excitement during the story
Reflection (Reflecting on the starter.)
    Discuss/recap the story from Friday - initiator for this lesson
Learning/Task Overview - The Journey & Purpose (including the WHY) What are we going to be do and why is this something we are learning.
     We are going to be practising using dialogue and interacting with each other. This helps us to be a better learner and to be open
     to new ideas and new ways of doing things. Writing = the vehicle
Setting and sharing the learning intentions
     What is the learning focus?
     PROCESS (The purpose for learning is to)
     - We are learning to develop/improve the quality of our dialogue. (communication skills.)
     ** actively listen
     ** build on to the ideas of my partner
     ** Provide specific details
     ** justify my contributions & give examples
     ** Keep our conversation relevant to the task
     CONTENT/TASK: Our goal for writing is: To write an effective ending to the story ‘FOX’ -
     To do this, we will need to ....Task with a focus/purpose
Modelling and Examples Clarifying the intended learning, distinguishing between what you want them to learn and how you want
them to learn it. Explicit teaching.
    Pre-prepared writing for ending/Model being a critical friend. Think/Pair/Share
What will we need to do to be successful?
    Refine and re-develop success criteria from earlier conversation/modification
Task Instruction
    Pairs pre-decided/Visual task card provided/Opportunity for questioning & clarity/1 group of 3 pairs with Jacqui/option to
    record conversation/choose docs or book - no deleting please!
Checking Clarity
    What are we learning to do? (this occurs more than once) Referring to intention and/or criteria e.g. stop/drop and come to the mat
    Clarify the task and my role as observer/facilitator with small group
Engaging in Rich Conversations and Feedback (including questioning)
    Prompts: Can you elaborate... So you think that... You could try... Do you agree with.. Why? Can you support your view with evidence...
    Can you explain why... Rephrasing (so you are saying that...) Given what you know about, what do you think... What is your opinion?
    Why? Could it be better? Is it as good as? Which is better and why?
Differentiating
    Choice of recording/opt in for grouping/option to move on when reached point of saturation
Evaluating/Wrap Up So how did we go? Where to next? Next learning steps - making connections to other areas...
    reflection questions: What was challenging? What did you do well? What did you learn? How do you know? How did you do
    with the SC? (with critical friend) If you were to repeat the learning, what would you improve on?
Making Connections/Social Action - what could you do next?
    How can we transfer these skills to other areas of our learning?
PRIOR KNOWLEDGE EXPECTATIONS AND
TEACHING THAT IS RELEVANT...

 Where are they at?
 CONTEXT: (Specific to the transferrable skills)
   Knowledge around what good feedback is and how we use it.
   Dynamics
   Knowing selves as learners - learner profiles

 CONTENT: (Specific to THIS lesson)
   Need to know problems in the story
   Need to know/understand the characters
   Structure of the story - problem/resolution (endings)
       building tensions
       subplots
       role of the ending (Jocelyn’s graph)
What resources are required?



Book - ‘FOX’


Visual Planning sheets for kids


Pre-written sentence by 1 child


Graph of tension in a narrative


Cameras


Tripods


Laptops/GoogleDocs/Books
Structure of how the group will work –who is
 teaching? (work this out at the beginning) What
 are the roles of all the others?

Teaching 1st Lesson: Jacqui


Video: child


James: Records Teacher lesson structure


Ngaire: Recording/focusing on student dialogue and interaction


Ebony: Recording/focusing on student dialogue and interaction


Jocelyn: Recording Teacher Prompts


Nicole:Rest of class
Group discuss –what might change, go wrong?
    Impact on this ?




Get stuck on the written component of the learning rather than the dialogue (teacher/
student)
Social issues - grouping and dynamics
Depth is unable to be reached
Pitched too high or too low
Illness
Overplanned???
Time
What’s Next?

Implementing and Observing.

Implementing the experimental lesson, replanning lessons, reintroducing the new version
of the lesson plans.


One of the teachers agreed to give a lesson based upon the lesson cooperatively devised
with colleagues. Other teachers become active observers, taking notes.


Each teacher has a specifically assigned role: these are possibilities -one videotapes, one
examines the entire learning-teaching process, another focuses on classroom
management, another the student-teacher interaction ….student-student interaction etc
REFLECTING
Sharing observations/observational data, reflecting and evaluating.




   After the lesson is taught, all teachers meet again as a group to share observational data,
   reflect upon and evaluate the lesson plan and its implementation by the volunteer.


   During this session the group examines the appropriateness of the teaching theme, the
   materials used, instructional methods, problems with the teacher’s performance, teacher-
   student interaction in detail etc.
Clarify expectations of participants ----there must
 be a measured response…..balance the positives
 with negatives….
So how did it go? What went well? What features
 really came to the fore? What changed? Why?
 Was our intent met? To what degree did thr
What would we change for the next person to
 implement? Develop the next plan.
What is transferable to other areas and how
 would this be done?
Revising –Investigating new teaching strategies,
  revising the lessons, reporting & disseminating,
  devising a new version of the lesson plan.
