Initial thinking centred arond HOW rather than WHY
if we don't understand the WHY fully - the how is linked to what we know about school and the frame we bring.
Why assess (in general) before we think about HOW? How leads to us wanting an answer- answer not there yet to the why....
Distance between stakeholders of understanding - engaging with the conversations.
What is worth assessing and not?
Measure? pitfalls? success for all? What does this look like without increasing of anxiety/ streaming/competition
How do we measure with the feeling of success- awhi kids not group- ANXIETY!!!
white paper- war on learning (Bruce Dixon)
When was learning a competitive sport? Teaching a competitive Sport
(Bruce Dixon)
Why do you exist? as a school
Mission/ vision definition (twitter)
A PIVOTAL moment in education-at crossroads- huge opportunities - some through technology but low down as a vehicle or influence but NOT a driver!!!
Behind the words what do we mean??
DEFINE learning
Do we have to show learning is happening everyday? We want to know akonga are learning??
Value/pitfall of OTJ
Are our assessments satisfying needs?
lets make it all bout learning!!
Offloading when the test/exam is over! Drill content.....
Are we doing what we believe?
If we want to stop Äkonga learning what do we do?
The left hand side only will succeed if left side works for teachers as well as students>
We trust you!! Its a culture- safety and support- no blame, judgement. (eek learning narrative data??)
I have your back as a leader
compliance and complancy- complancy replaces compliance
Now the loss of NATIONAL STANDARDS... what will/can this bring? for learners? teaching to the test... data driven education- interpreted in a traditional way.
This is about trust, own trust, aware if trusted
Qualitaive vs Quantitative assessments
BELIEF/ vs PRACTICE - how strong is it?
ACTIONS vs WORDS
ETERNAL conflict
(resilient/risk-takers)
Finnish teachers are never evaluated - are we assessed or have we been assessed on the right hand side
COLLECTIVE change
Coherent in the message we send??
The affect of competition? Staying with the norm- supporting whanau wanting norm
comfortable in our thinking not defensive!! Challenge with the criticiser doing the right side!!
discussions at the clubrooms about 'handwriting'
Lets put it back at then
Learning is not a competitive sport
A 6 year old shouldn't have to come to school to figure us out- let them grow their natural disposition to learning grow not be stilted!
Valve company - modelling the leftside as acompany - their handbook
Internet is transformative to our world!
Who are our kids? Shadow a kid.....
EXPOSURE to experience- limit PASSION conversations
Social presence- online life-
over- prescribing of drugs
tug of war for our kids with whanau wants for education and the known/ unknown.
As stuck in the middle of the now
tug of war with friends too-SEL, gaming
Kids clean up our mess!!
can our people/kids discern fiction and non-fiction- navigate media landscape/google
'crap detector'
Most disruptive shift is AGENCY
CONTEXTUAL shift- freedom to access through internet
Out of school kids roam-drone parents- compressing their experience in the natural world??
Why should schools exist?
CHALLENGING what teaching looks like?
Mission is built on...
Vision is built on...
Teachers can overhelp!! can hinder
We have to let go!
why is genius hour only an hour!!!!! Like Haeata
SEL- self directed - share with me a your....( from ) during learning times
(screencastify-site)
SAMR- technology!!
technology is about FREEDOM to learn
(look at drowning statistics & parents on devices)
The power of the learning narrative- kaiako expectations
(complainer on the document-reading after criticism)
LIFTING the constraints
Pose the challenge without the scaffolds or instruction
Makerspace prompt: Make a bird, singing and dancing appreciated
Play-based learning at a high-level- My dream- resources available- eg. makerspace paintbrushes
Left mess can be a constraint??
balance and priority
Take away the workshops- and leave out resources
"They just play games in class"- deal with the behaviour - agency??
gaming/ screentime/ boogie man (social media)- DRONE PARENTING/ TEACHING
Emotional side of school change- book
Moving from OLD to BOLD- making change in your school
Re-imagining assessment
the assessments we want
the teachers we want
the parents we want
the leaders we want
