Waking Up My Reading
This is the first of 9 sessions in the Reading Practice Intensive programme. This course has already awakened my curiosity about how to provide a fun, exciting learning programme for my students across the curriculum using reading as my door in.
Kaupapa and pedagogy of the Manaiakalani Reading Programme
The "Designing Learning with the End in Mind" helped clarify where teacher instruction, teacher scaffolding and student learning fits in.
T = more teacher focus, levelled text, harder to read to grow
T/L = negotiating between learners
L = learner creates and shares in a variety of ways. Graphic Organizers, Multi-Modal, T-shaped Literacy, Reciprocal Learning, Literacy Circles
WHAT LEARNING SHOULD LOOK LIKE:
Model to practice for the whole school/studio???
Implications for improving my capability and confidence in teaching reading.
- the RPI course will introduce me to new ideas, remind me of old ideas I stopped using and give me opportunities to reflect on my reading programme with colleagues.
- use the idea of the "Taskboard" in with current T- Shaped Literacy to increase students' self-efficacy.
- sharing of the survey, giving us a direction as a group on how we can learn together to enjoy reading and learn.
- use the idea of the "Taskboard" to provide opportunities for self-efficacy for the students - motivating students, helping them make choices for themselves (buddy?) and persist in face of difficulty. Links to our RISE values of resilience, integrity, success and empathy.
- discuss 3 tiers of vocabulary - where are you confident, where would you like some support, who could support you, what support could you offer
Implications for my wider community.
- share "Designing Learning with the End in Mind" to clarify where instructional, scaffolded, independent learning best fits.
- share the survey with my team. Would this be a way of connecting with our students? Mid-year and end of the year to reflect on changes over the year.
- share the "Power of Talk" ground rules, how can it be implemented across the curriculum, and how does it connect to current "DIMC" sharing (closely : >)
2) Whānau/aiga
- share later in the year as I become clearer in the process - possibly send them an adjusted reading survey.
Watch out for the photographs to follow over the next 3 weeks : >

Kia ora Sharon,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be on this course. The content sounds incredible and I loved reading how you are going to apply the learning into your own reading programme and share with colleagues. I would have loved to have read more about the taskboard to understand what that is about.
Looking forward to reading more as you journey through the RPI.
Keep up the great learning and blogging,
:) Sharon - Te Ara Tūhura Education Programme Leader
Kia ora Sharon. Thank you for agreeing to be part of this PD - the first of our teachers to be involved. Knowing you, everything that you uncover about improving your capability and confidence in teaching reading will be embedded into your classroom programme pretty quickly! I look forward to reading about your progress across the year.

ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to meet you on Friday and I am so pleased that it has 'awakened' your curiosity in reading. Having participated in the Pilot Course last year, it most definitely got me thinking and talking more about reading and making positive changes to my reading programme.
Yes, I completely agree with you! There are so many things that we covered on Friday that could be implemented across many curriculum areas. Using the Task board will help to motivate your students by giving them more autonomy
over their learning.
I look forward to hearing how you go with implementing the Reading Survey and looking at the data that you get. Good luck!

Ngā mihi nui Sharon. You have been patient with me as I have been getting familiar with my role as your mentor during your reading intensive journey. The information that you have discovered about your learners through the survey that you had them complete has lead you to plan some follow up activities that should spark their interest in reading further by taking them to the New Brighton Library and organising the children to complete their own book selling among themselves. I was able to observe one of your reading groups where the children were learning how to rate themselves against the Ground Rules. You then clearly explained to me how you are going to use this information to make a goal for this group to work on during their next reading sessions.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to what you learn about tomorrow Sharon and our discussions over the next few weeks.
