2009+Performance+and+Development

Sem 1 -
=== 1 - Literacy Goal - To run a well structured Literacy block with Whole - Small Group - Whole. Organising reciprocal reading groups, reading group activities, writing activities for longer periods of time, share time, reflection time, assessment time. Catering for all ability levels/interest levels/skills and incorporate the netbooks into learning. ===

=== 2 - IT Goal - To incorporate the netbooks into daily routine when applicable. Use skills and technologies that are available to us at school and via the internet. Main goal is to have the netbooks working properly, have the students confident with using programs, saving work appropriately, active participation at home with good communication with parents. ===

3 - Focus more on individual learners as part of the daily program, planning, assessment and reflection.
**Term 2 - reflection on goals**
 * 1 - I feel that I am becoming more comfortable with planning, organising and running a Literacy block. With the help of Lianne, I now know how to select appropriate texts for reading groups, to organise an engaging introductory whole class activity for reading and writing, to incorporate an effective share time and reflection time, which usually caters for different ability levels, interest levels and skills.

2 - I feel that our classes are using the netbooks for an appropriate length of time. I feel that it is very important to still put pen to paper. I would like to see a more appropriate use of the netbooks at home though. I would like to use the One Note program for homework tasks which involve the netbooks, recording their voice, recording video and involving parents in their learning.**

Term 3 - Reflection of Goals
=== 1 - Literacy Goal: I feel that we have a well structured reading and writing plan now, but i feel that it is a bit boring and repetative. I would like to see a bit more fun in our morning programs. The other day I spent 15 - 20 minutes on drama/impromptu activities and the kids loved it. They even wanted me to have a go too and it was really funny. I like to see that they take on the leadership role a lot too. I have some natural leaders and others who try to take over. I want to speak with Hilary about some more drama activities. i will ask for help to stunt my mind about the fun activities that we played with the Yr 7's when we taught them.=== === 2 - IT Goal: I would like to encourage the students to use their Netbooks more at home for interesting tasks which will excite them to share their knowledge and abilities with their family and at school. I feel that we do not give the students enough time or opportunities to showcase what they know with fun activities. I would like to set up a homework chart, which runs each fortnight. I aim to include 6 homework tasks which are fun, easy to achieve, will include their netbooks as much as possible and have tasks which will include working with friends or family. I aim to have tasks such as sport, spelling, maths, IT, art, writing, reading, etc which will be recorded with their netbooks.=== === 3 - Personal Goal: I want to keep working on getting to know my students more on a personal level. I feel that I am not finding out enough about their home life, sport, what they did on the weekend, favourite thing that happened for the week, etc. I aim to spend a bit more time focussing on them and not using my spare few minutes on "Well, we can use this time to tidy up the room a bit!" This time could be used on getting to know you a bit more :)===
