This term my inquiry will be based upon this strand of the COL Achievement Challenge
Lift the achievement in Reading for all students, with a particular focus on boys and Māori students (both genders) years 1-13
Very clear messages were received in our most recent researchers report. We need to provide more opportunities for our students to simply read - that's right independently read. While learning experiences via activities and creative task help to embed new learning - the action of reading for a decent chunk of time is valuable too!
Core learning area (our of 3) I am inquiring into
Reading
Writing
Maths
2. The lenses I intend to use: I have highlighted 2 as I will consider these two strands when supporting learners in this inquiry. I am tempted to highlight all!
Learning Behaviour/ Managing Self/ Setting of Norms
Cultural Responsiveness
Wellbeing/ Hauora
Language Acquisition
Here is my actual inquiry along with ideas and strategies I have so far.
Inquiry Focus

Possible Strategies
Hunches
What might work?
What can I try?
Ideas to investigate
|
Visit local libraries to engage with people and other resources that can support choice making around texts to read
Join online TC library, set a goal of one book a week for those who take chromebooks home. Issue for home those who do not take chromebook
Notice home to engage whanau around increasing reading mileage for boys, have a signed system daily
Have a set group that includes girl readers who have not shifted in year
|
Action Plan - See Journey on Blog
What steps am I going to take to change my practice?
|
Mid year Reflection
|
End year Reflection
|
Work in actual lesson time to visit our school library, surf through TC online library and actual time to READ during week. Do I need to consider furniture? Private areas for hard to focus students?
