Personal Leader TAI

After a conversation with D.P, I will choose a teacher to be a curriculum coach for as part of my own development as a leader.  I will approach AM that I can work with her to develop her skills in moving students and to also develop my own coaching and mentoring.

Things to work on and educate. The curriculum level expectations. How long it takes for each sub level. e.g. beginning L 3 to L3 Mid 1 year. L 3 end 1 year.

To do with the teacher
Meet every week discuss kids
what are you doing with ? How are you going to move him? What are you seeing?

How can I support my reluctant writers to accelerate their writing progress and achievement using authentic contexts progressions, reflections and Seesaw to enhance learning engagement and collaboration with whanau.

Meeting with A. Discussed the priority learners and who will have the biggest impact.

What changes are you making in your practice?

How often do you see them? Are they mixed ability as well as

explicit needs grouping?

5 Rules to Follow as You Find Your Spark by Simon Sinek

3 Key ideas and 1 I might change.

1. 2 ways to see the world: Some people see the thing that they want and some people see the thing that prevents them from. You can go after anything you want but you just cannot deny anyone else going after whatever they want. You can't get in the way of anyone else to get what they want.

2. Sometimes you're the problem! Take accountability for your actions especially what you do wrong.

3. Take care of each other. (Navy Seal) No one makes it if they are trying to prove who they are. Who makes it through are the ones who have nothing left to give they've given it all. They've done it all to help others.  Learn by helping each other and accept help when it's offered.  I don't know what I'm doing I'm scared etc. This will only happen if you take care of them first.

4. Nelson Mandela a great leader. How did he learn this? He remembers that the leaders always sat in a circle and his father was the last to speak. A skill to hold opinions to yourself before you speak. This gives people the thought of their thoughts are valid. Listen to the people ask questions.

5. as you gain fame people will treat you better. None of this is meant for you it's meant for the position you hold. Remember humility

How does memory work?

Memory is state bound - the emotion that is going on for you when you have the experience. So the things you enjoy is remembered the bad things too are remembered.

So we need to set up things that are joyful, fun to help the kids remember.

Research says that all kids have the following in common the all enjoy
Play and being told stories.

Anything supersensory, joyful,  will be remembered
Something that's bizarre

95% is learning by doing

Data conversation with AP

Discussed data and the way forward to ensure that my teachers are teaching and progressing students as they should the suggestion was made to follow the child. As in next time we enter data get them to bring in the evidence why they have put the student where they are.

One child to team meeting and get them to bring all evidence to the data/moderating meeting

• How have they made progress?
• How did you get that information, where did that come from
• Progression sheets, writing samples, etc.

If not how are we going to change our practice

How do I find yours most at risk students easily on the planning?

Positive emails due to communication to whanau

Hi Megan,

Thanks for your email, so nice to hear the kids made you proud yesterday:)

Also, just wanted to let you know Sophia is loving her year so far, she is coming
home buzzing and excited about school everyday. Thank you for all your hard work,
it’s so appreciated.

Kind regards

Erica

Thank you Megan for this message. I absolutely love encouraging emails.
I love being able to see and be a part of my boys journey at St Mary's, so when
I can't be there to support and encourage them it's great to receive emails like this.
Knowing Anthony & I weren't able to be part of the class mass we had our own little liturgy
in the morning with Josh reading his lines. He was pretty stoked about that.

Kind regards

Hayley 

Office Manager

Thanks Megan,

You are doing a great job leading our young very precious people.
