Curriculum Progress Tools



                Curriculum Progress Tools Seminar

152 The Terrace, Wellington
20th September
8.30 - 3.30

PACT Looking at the big picture of literacy and where it sits with everything.
Big picture of progress and use ICT to track individual progress
  • Life chances, socially and economically, life skills, well being in mental health
  • Tools for power to come out with basic skills
  • What does progress look like
Purpose:
PACT needs to be flexible. Had a feel of NAT standards so needed to be changed to be more flexible and organic without huge checklists. Developing a website with self-service so teachers can be independent and use resources. Needed to have consistency - singing form the same song sheet with video, PLD activities - adds value and clear messages with less is more design principles and not complex but have real value.
PLD for tools - peer to peer support
Pitfalls - support school network
Resources have a yr 1 - 8 focus and now yr 9/10 what works, more emphasis now
Website 8 pages -
2 tools to support progress

LPF Learning progression frameworks
  • what does it look like?
  • understanding progress
Effective pedagogy
Website - One-stop shop
Explore the site
Design and development of the framework
Resources - case studies challenges
PLD activities
Woolf Fisher research shows - thinking critically still missing in schools
Writing progressions different more genre "write like a scientist encoding'
communicating to influence, understanding, knowledge, literary purpose with Aaron Wilson's work
Exemplification but keep it simple not after the fact. What do they look like?
Illustrations like rubrics = using effective rich tasks so have an intervention so you can see how students respond to the task and annotate what to notice know what to notice eg science and have challenging complex texts
Still talk of technology teachers using progress tools for technology rather than integrated/
Mandate in written language - no multi modal or other forms of texts
NZC not the rigor as with the CPT - Curriculum Progress Tools. The in between steps in the illustrations are the teaching points
What is it about the reading and writing they have to do in order to be successful?What are the dispositions they need to be successful?
What do you need to be able to do?
How do you get them there?- signposts - pedagogy opportunity to learn, agency, local curriculum - next steps NZMaths linking line up with curriculum
No lines running through the curriculum rather the the big learning story the signpost does not need to point with the steps. Learning story loke a carpark story think steps rather than levels
Data and evidence for validation
PACT CONSISTENT decisions
Electronic record card in Reading math and writing. Can see progress that travels across the system
Guide decisions
Prompting us to notice
Best fit independently
Over scaffolding - cut loose - they can't do it on their own

Design Thinking

Design Thinking:  Our KPMG day of superlatives and surptises The importance of working in teams to design ideas. It is amazing to see the change in thinking when ideas are interrogated and grappled and puzzled over. The first idea not necessarily the best idea ......  Experimenting with some of the many solutions is the next step in the design process. Here, the designer might make rapid prototypes or models of their solutions and use them to gather feedback from the team. It is important to focus on the minimum viable product, or the concept of an idea, rather than worrying about creating a perfect finalized version of your idea at this point. How could you make a prototype of your ideas you are exploring to help with your problem? Who could you test it on? What would you have to do? Who could help you? The game of Catalyst was used to interrogate ideas and confront issues and question assumptions. Sometimes we do not look at the reasons behind our ideas and the b...

Create Create Create

A day of create, animate, postulate, stipulate and emulate! What a lot of fun and games with light bulbs going off and ah ha everywhere. Great learning with a group of people who get excited and do lots of OMG and exclamations. This is how we want our learners to be - not being afraid to admit to not 'getting' it, or sharing with each other and do some peer tutoring. Today has been such an enjoyable day and the time seemed to fly. The introduction with the create always inspires and reminds us of how learn to create or create to learn is interchangeable and feeds from each other. The work of Elwyn Richardson had a huge effect on my practice as everything he did was about excellence in every subject. I loved how the hook was so stimulating and inspiring for designing learning which was challenging and required competency but so creative. The writing which came out of the art, music, science, drama, music and exploration was amazing. Kent wowed everyone with his enthusiastic ...

Dealing with data

       Dealing with data An eye-opening review of the extent of what can be done using Google forms, sheets and analysis. I wished I had known previously the affordances they offered and how more quickly tasks could be done. There are so many ways that tasks, recordings, directions and sites could be made so they were easy to navigate and find. This has not been an aspect of my work that I have felt competent in, except for using tables and graphs for research and organisation.  The connections being made with our learning is continuously building on what we are doing every week and how it can make our workflow better. I also envisage students coming up with ideas for the use of tables and graphs to illustrate design features and create games. The group have continued to play an active part in collaboration and contribution at our DFI  It is so good to see how the group have embraced Manaiakalani values, pedagogy and kaupapa. They are also looking ahea...
