PandD+Goals+2010

P & D Goals 2010

1 - Diferentiated Learning especially in Mathematics: - Term 1: I am assuming my lower maths group will be easy to cater for. I feel that there ar numerous wbsites, interactive activitis and rsources to assist me to make my lessons engaging and meaningful. - Term 2: I am finding my maths group difficult to manage. Even though I have the lower maths groups, which are already levelled, I feel as though I have a completely different levelling system that neds to be put in place for my students. I have students such as BJ, Gavin, Alex who show so little development in number, measurment, fractions, etc, but then i have students such as Shanley, Matt, who show that they can complete a times tables grid in no time. Tim on the other hand has higher skills in fractions, measurement, etc which are life skills and an interest for him. The other students have there own issues, good skills and ned for improvement. Just like any normal class, I need to level all of my work and make it appropriate for ach student. - Term 3: I am working hard to differentiate learning for my students. I am still finding it difficult but I am getting better. I now have a small booklet aimed at the level for each student. I am using resources from Mathletics, Woodland Maths, etc to make my lessons more interesting. I still have a long way to go and I am working hard to make it exciting. I still feel the need that I need to sspend one-on-one time with students like BJ, Alex, Gavin but that is impossible for each task.

2 - Build ICT Skills through the Ultranet Program and 1-to-1 initiative: - Term 1: I am really keen to build the ICT skills of students in 5/6 and my own. I have spent some time this semester, looking at different programs to use and we have looked at a couple in class. I have encouraged students to use specific websites at home and in spare time at school. Students really liked Comic Life, Catchment Detox, Goanimate, Tux Typing, etc. I feel that we still dod not have enough time for this in class. It is hard to fit it into the timetable. - Term 2: I have noticed that students have really poor touch typing skills. I have worked to build on their skills, but now that Gardening has taken over another two periods, actual lessons in this are almost impossible. I tried more toward the end of term. - Term 3: My Term 3 aim is to

3 - Work with Kathryn and other teachers to build literacy skills of students: - Term 1: I feel that having Kathryn in the room is very helpful. I feel that her skills and knowledge is useful and she has very good opinions. I feel that our students levels are improving each time she delivers a lesson. I am seeing their levels improve. - Term 2: I feel that our lesson and unit planning is improving. Their levels are improving from On Demand. I am enjoying our uint of Heroes and Villains and I feel that we achieved a lot of improvement. - Term 3: So far we have begun a unit where we all look at an overall topic.
