Professional Development - Otago Literacy Symposium

-


On Thursday 18th April I attended the Annual Otago Literacy Symposium at Elm Grove School, Mosgiel. This was wonderful PD to learn of fellow teachers and educators.

I attended three workshops:
1. Putting the Joy back into literacy - Sarah Aiono
2. Passion meets creativity - Genius Hour - Rachel O' Connell and Reegan Tourell 
3. Fostering a Growth Mindset - Andrea Robertson

I gained some valuable resources to implement in my class and some tips of what else I can be doing to help my learners.

On the 14th August I had a 1-1 meeting with Anne Kenneally to discuss my inquiry. I found this very beneficial and got some good ideas. I was able to discuss some activities I had done in class and the student voice I had gained from health sessions this term. Anne shared some useful resources with me to help with my next steps.

In June 2018, I worked alongside Carla Laughton (Head of PE/Health) to collate data, review last year's goals and make some recommendations for this year.

This was a great opportunity to take on more responsibility in the school and also wonderful to able to attend a BOT meeting and strengthen professional relationships within the school.

It's a great tool for children to use to share their learning with their parents and very user friendly for the students. Room 7 had already had a go at using it and had sent home the parent form so they can login to see their child's posts.
