entering the dark part of the rabbit hole
After a great holiday in Australia, it is time move into the unknown rabbit hole of teaching 21st Century Fluencies in High School English classes.
It is going to be an interesting year as we are changing a lot of curriculum organisation and content in English.
I am teaching Year 9 for the first time in a while.
Focus is vital literacy skills in English, using 21st century fluencies as the modus operandi.
Learning will be more relevant to the world our students are inheriting.
Start the year with a focus on a big three and a big four:
B3 =Growth mindset, collaboration and mindful assessment underpin how we teach.
B4= Critical thinking, reading, speaking and writing.
DATA -Assessing reading and writing skills via diagnostic Asttle tests in February & November 2018 is is important.This will document if the curriculum changes raise the reading and writing curriculum levels of Year 10 students.
READING
In class I will provide 1/5 of teaching time for personal reading to reinforce its value. I will actively endorse texts and work hard to connect students with texts they will enjoy.
Students will be offered a reading challenge and will blog about what they are reading.
Student may read on tablets.
