Creating our RAT

Joanne and I have planned our Shared Reading plans on Google Docs which we have then shared with our Fantail HUB team. This is the basis for our ALL focus across our HUB.

Flag the Bag - Crazy 8s

Sure bet: to ask for NO plastic bags in the comment box when grocery shopping online. Then have a washing basket and the kids ready when the Countdown truck arrives.

Teaching as Inquiry at Makauri School

What is the focus area?
Draft your Inquiry Question.
Link this to the Charter Strategic Goals.
Link to the Education Council's Standards for the Teaching Profession and your role in the school.











What do teachers and/or students know about and can do already in this focus area?
What are my beliefs and assumptions in relation to this focus area and my question?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is the evidence to support these beliefs and assumptions? Assessment Data, Observations, Conversations.
What sources of information can add to this evidence? Research, Literature, etc.

Do I need to review my inquiry question?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What learning experiences can I design and implement to address my inquiry question?
What changes do I need to make to my practice? Tasks, Experiences, Teaching Actions?

You may go through several cycles of Plan, Act or Teach, and Review.

How has my practice changed as a result of my inquiry? What have I learnt that challenged my beliefs and assumptions? Challenges? Successes?
What is the impact of my changed practice for other teachers and school leaders?
How can I share outcomes with colleagues? (Staff Professional Learning and Development Session)

Throughout the year, I will be labelling my blog posts to reflect our Makauri
