"Learners are most likely to develop and strengthen their capabilities for living and learning when they learn with teachers in a school whose leadership creates conditions that stimulate key competencies." - NZC online
Reflection : How might teachers’ strengths in developing capabilities in thinking, using language, symbols and texts, managing self, relating to others, and participating and contributing, be recognised and celebrated?
- online forum such as google+ communities
- VLN/VPL
-blogging to celebrate our success and next steps with others
Thinking - using a platform to reflect on practice (actually think about what we are doing, whey we are doing it and what impact this may have on our learners?) Using a blog could be a good way to reflect. Challenge my own thinking and practice.
Relating to Others -
Being able to communicate effectively with colleagues, Senior leadership, parents, students and the wider community. Having the interpersonal skills. Bearing in mind the 'open to learning conversations' concepts by Viviane Robinson
Using language, symbols and texts - this diagram shares what this KC is all about.
Acknowledging - Karen McMillan Waterloo School
Managing Self - using my 'school hours/time' effectively. Being able to meet deadlines. Taking responsibility at work by leading other colleagues/ students/ projects/ Keeping a work-life balance...
Participating and Contributing - within the school and wider community. Sharing and learning online eg using VLN, VPL, twitter, facebook, Google +, pond...attending conferences (educamp, TENZ). Sharing appraisal folder on 'Interlead'
Sharing my knowledge and practice with my colleagues at school has helped build good relationships.
Reflection: How might students’ capabilities in thinking, using language, symbols, and texts, managing self, relating to others, and participating and contributing, be recognised and celebrated?
Students capabilities needs to be celebrated in assembly, postcards home, instant rewards.. PB4L tokens, instant positive feedback.
I use class Dojo within my Technology classroom to help me celebrate the learning and KC's in my room. This is aligned with our school PB4L and school expectations.
referring to Christinekw blog https://christinekw.wordpress.com/2014/07/15/badges/
- I like the idea of online badges. Something for me to look into for 2016
- it is engaging and rewarding and fits along the 21st C learning
