and the achievement of
konga

Global Reflection
Things you need
to, or would
like to work on
for future
improvement.

I really want to be a part of our schools move into using MLEs and MLP because intuitively, this seems to be a better way to
prepare students for the future.

Contribution to
wider school
activities

I like to be involved with what is happening around the school, and with supporting my colleagues.

Opportunities you
would like to
be offered in
the future

I could like to be involved in a MLE and MLP classroom, and then help the school and colleagues moving in this direction (the
Government has indicated that it wants all schools to be MLE by 2020).

I also have a passion for working with lighthouse learners.

I would like to teach the lighthouse class.

Goal reflection
2014

1. To develop systems for effective use of iPads, in order to lift achievement for target students.
I have made the iPads for students to use in a variety of days. Students have been using the ipads for filming,
photgraphing, learning apps, research and working on collaborative documents.
2. PYP: Guide my class to give constructive feedback and feedforward based on the Learning Intentions and success criteria
I have been working with students for give appropriate and constructive feedback and feedforward. Ive done this in writing,
and have been experimneting in doing this with their UoI summative tasks. I have seen a good model of students doing this
well duing my observations in Auckland.

Goal for 2015

This will depend on what opportunities I get next year.
