Today we discussed...
Identifying students who didn't return to school quickly after each lockdown to ensure gaps are plugged after COVID-19, for future years.
Identifying students who were online to access learning and how this impacted on their learning during the year and how are could tracking this.
How would we present this work (Creating Writers) in a non-digital environment? e.g. the Cook Islands. E.g. Using different medium to make the body of work accessible.
My Woulda Coulda Shoulda for MIT 2020
Woulda (with 20/20 hindsight)
I wish I would have pushed for access to Chromebooks for students in class earlier in T1, to train them to 'log in' efficiently, and where to find things they would need during lockdown for learning to continue.
I would have like to see SLT engage with the MIT process helping to breakdown barriers and time restraints.
Coulda (woulda but circumstances challenged)
I could have pushed for time to teach all students to 'log in' and taught them how to locate the class website, linking into meets and put the learning on the class website as I have previous years but was restricted this year.
Shoulda (simply shoulda but didn't have time)
Having been to the Manaiakalani Outreach and Principals Wānanga, I should have asked to attend earlier ngā Wānanga to see what is needed and the focus for the coming year. As this would help with direction and evidence of what needs to be done to help accelerate learning.
I was intrigued to find out that the term 'Phonics' has changed to 'Structured Language', useful for students with dyslexia and it is something I would like to investigate more of next year to help students with spelling.
