Visible, Progressions, Student voice, Clarity
Student voice- students being able to tell them where they are at and what they need to learn to move to the next step. Student voice gives lots of information.
Learning intentions and success criteria- looking at the bigger intention and then working on small parts at a time to help progress.
The 7 principles of learning
these need to be present and teachers should understand them and incorporate them in the classroom.
1. Learners at the centre
classrooms and schools have learning front and centre the most important.
2. the social nature of learning
group work
3. emotions are integral to learning
4.recognising individual differences
5. stretching all students
6. assessment of learning
7. building horizontal connections

As we go down the ladder the documents compliment each other they have different levels but they all align in some way.
Teacher believes that it is their job to provide work for students. Are you getting learning value for the time you spend marking? Gather student voice
Self generating activities-place value
Getting students to start at a number writing this on the board and getting them to write all the way to the bottom and add numbers going down the page.
-10 more
-100 more
-10,000 more
-10 less
-101 less etc
One activity that the students generate. Can have different groups doing different problems. Freeing you up so that you can walk around and explain ideas and be the professional you need to be.
Draw 3 circles bottom 2 circles add to the top number. Activity could be getting the students to make up some basic facts problems. Change the problem for the students to make it harder. Make the numbers bigger etc.
Using self generating activities that students can do. Not changing worksheets for a week. Using the same worksheet for 5 days in a row so that students can do it easy.
Dice game-
-start with 2 dice roll them then multiply them together. Write down the answers
-multiplication
- adding to make 10
-doubles
-triples
-roll 2 make one tens and one ones.
-can you make the biggest and smallest numbers
-1 more, 1 less, 10 more
LESS IS MORE!!! what is more important? For less able students break it down for them and make it easier so that they can accelerate.
Using the self generating activities as warm ups every day so that they can move faster and have more knowledge of basic facts and place value.
Start with support- move to a little support-then no support- under pressure
At that point it is known and solid.
3 ways to move them practice, practice, practice!!!!!
Using counters to help see what stage the student is at to help make OTJ's
Reading The Learning to learn principle:
Key Ideas:
With learning to learn students take ownership of their own learning and play a greater role in classroom decision making. Learning to learn is about managing self and self regulation. When students can direct their own learning and know how they learn best they can also navigate choices better. Learning to learn allows students to talk about their learning and what is going well, what they are finding difficult and what they can do to support their own learning. Setting students up for success, and letting them make mistakes to learn from and get back up with ways to improve and move forward. I really enjoyed this reading as I could relate to it and I can see that I would like to give my students more opportunities to self regulate their learning and be able to talk about what they are learning and why. Discussing different aspects of their learning and being able to nurture trusting relationships so that students feel safe to talk about their learning and sharing their outcomes and needs with others.
