2008+Performance+and+Development


 * Bring Laptop & Have E-potential Survey completed
 * Have 3 goals organised - at least one must be e-learning

**Goals:**  **1 - learning more about how to support low achievers in literacy- writing. Especially Boys

2 - become familiar with the online testing in terms of how to use it for planning and supporting students. Actions: work with other teachers to learn about the data and the results. work with Claire, Roz and Carolyn to develop strategies to move those students.

3 - to get a better understanding of how to support the students in the class who are underachievers and disengaged. Action: look for pd on maths and English that targets students who are underachiever**



**Term 2 PD - 15th May 08**

 * Bring Laptop & have wiki started - show how you use your wiki
 * Have a reflection and Progress of the 3 Goals


 **Reflection of Goals: 1 - I have been looking for PD's in this area for boys, but I have not yet found any.

2 - I have become familiar with setting up the online testing. I do not yet know how to get results properly to use with planning and supporting students. I have not yet met with Roz, Claire or Carolyn to develop strategies. - ranks students which is good - not really appropriate

3 - I have not yet found any PD programs supporting underachievers and disengaged students. I have not really pursued this properly yet. Most of the PD's discuss how teenage/boys brains function and they dont really give you strategies to use. I feel that i really need to gain back the conversation/trust with the students (show them that im not negative) then try to work on the underachievers. I feel that this goal is similar to my first goal therefore i wish to change my first goal to: ** 
 * <span style="color: rgb(3, 9, 181)">**<span style="color: rgb(14, 1, 203)">Complete the Jigsaw training and continue to successfully improve my skills and the implementation of Jigsaw and Naming It in the school with parents, teachers and students. **

<span style="color: rgb(255, 109, 0)">**Reflection of Goals: 1 - I have really been enjoying the Jigsaw PD's and feel that it is very beneficial to my learning. I feel that I am better prepared to deal with behaviours and difficult situations. I feel that my language (Jigsaw language) has improved when dealing with students and I feel that it has helped in more ways than one. I have also tried to slowly implement it into my classroom in terms of respect for others.

2 - I have attempted a few times to set up linear tests although the students can not open them on the day. I would like to meet with someone who knows how to use this program better than me to work through together.

3 - I still have found no PD's in this area although still looking. In the meantime I a have been working with MAW to develop ways and strategies to deal with the classroom as a whole and particular individuals. Behaviour issues are still evident in the classroom and it is slowly becoming COOL to not do any work and to play up. I have been focusing on particular students who like to voice their opinions negatively to try to ease some of the tension/arguing in the classroom.**
 * There are also other programs such as bridges that many students are involved in. I am also sending home extra activities for particular students who have requested it.**
 * Speak to Gareth re Comp room access for Online testing
 * Speak to Hilary re Bill Rogers PD on boys for goal 3
 * Continue with MAW

<span style="color: rgb(4, 169, 22)"><span style="color: rgb(8, 196, 46)"><span style="color: rgb(5, 189, 23)">**Reflection of Goals - 1 - Jigsaw training has been very interesting. I feel much more comfortable assisting students with the Naming It process and using it myself. Jigsaw training has now finished.

2 - I still have difficulty with the program and have been away for the last online test for yr 8s. I am feeling much more comfortable and understand reading the graphs and data during the meetings and for planning/assessment reasons.

3 - Lots of difficulty with behaviour of students. Speaking with MAW and cracking down on behaviour of students. Using as MAW loves to say - Consequences that sting!** <span style="color: rgb(255, 109, 0)">
