Mana in the classroom: A co-constructed online dictionary
http://manaintheclassroom.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-co-constructed-online-dictionary.html
Saturday, 27 June 2015. A co-constructed online dictionary. My class has been using a co-constructed dictionary. For the past month. I originally set the dictionary up with about 200 high frequency words. Since then the students have steadily identified words that needed to be added to this wonderful word resource. It is certainly pleasing to see that this word bank is useful to my students! I am currently working on a dictionary skills teaching and learning progression to keep track of what works. You a...

I have been thinking about. For some time. Sharing on individual blogs is very satisfying for students and so is reading the number of pageviews! However, blog comments make it all worthwhile! Challenging getting blog readers to leave messages for the learners! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My name is Katrin...

Rebbecca Sweeney: Beyond Goals | Scrapping Goals in a Complex, Fast-changing Environment
http://rebbeccasweeney.blogspot.com/2015/05/beyond-goals-scrapping-goals-in-complex.html
Sunday, May 17, 2015. Beyond Goals Scrapping Goals in a Complex, Fast-changing Environment. Lately I've been getting obsessed with Carol Dweck's. Alongside this I've been getting obsessed with Guy Claxton's. From the recent CPPA Breakfast Session. I've also blogged before. About being future focused - there is so much to think about in this space and I encourage clusters to create their own definitions of future focused education from all of the thinking and research available. This quote above aligns ni...

Monday, March 9, 2015. 2015 Focusing, taking action, change, and future focused innovation in clusters and networks. In 2014 I worked with three clusters made up of primary, secondary and early childhood leaders and teachers. I facilitated the cluster leaders through a process to rethink their cluster vision, goals and plans using the Spiral of Inquiry. Resources came in very handy. This year, those three clusters will be continuing to work with me to move through the Spiral of Inquiry as they continue t...

Rebbecca Sweeney: Collaboration: Ensure role clarity & build relational trust
http://rebbeccasweeney.blogspot.com/2014/11/collaboration-ensure-role-clarity-build.html
Wednesday, November 5, 2014. Collaboration: Ensure role clarity and build relational trust. In my previous post about revisiting purpose and countering competition. I start to talk about building trust because it is so integral to many other aspects of collaboration. In this post I talk a little bit more about the practices that build relational trust. Practices schools should and should not use to foster role clarity and building of relational trust. School practitioners rather than for them. Build capa...

Rebbecca Sweeney: #edchatnz conference meme
http://rebbeccasweeney.blogspot.com/p/edchatnz-meme.html
I've caved in to the pressure to become part of the #edchatnz conference meme and as it's not quite in line with the overall purpose of my thoughtmongering, I've created my meme in this static page. For tagging me in your meme and Terry. For doing the same ;). Also if you don't know what the heck a meme is go here. I like to think I am doing the "mutate" version.but sadly I'm probably just responding to selective pressures. 1 How did you attend the #Edchatnz Conference? Sign up for Twitter. Discovery, in...
