The Audition - yr 9 programme; specific exemplar and template to annotate script with intentions. Collecting data and samples. Next semester - identify 4 Maori students per class and track their progress, maybe use google form to get sample their thinking about writing.
2016 plan
Using graphic organisers and SEXY paragraph templates for year 9;  and creating exemplars for each task. Sharing specific vocabulary via Hapara and visual displays which include Maori terms.
Where are we at? Marking Actor Study done y 9Bv and 9Hl, few have attempted writing. Needs to be done as a test perhaps, with tighter time frames? eg: 1 hour collect information share slide show. 1 hour fill in chart and write paragraph- share. maybe change assessment criteria to Research A M E and do assessment criteria/exemplars for writing task. Can do this with 9Cl & 9Bv in Term 3. Next writing task - same criteria will be to write intentions for The Audition task.

Have revisited the TAI at today's staff meeting, following some work on differentiation led by Justine
My partner was absent but I worked with Ce on the differentiation  task and she shared with me her spread sheet where she records students grades etc. I want to have my planning and records all on the computer in 2015 rather than use mark/ plan books. It seems like a big task!
Differentiation activities.

Have done our planning for the 2014-15 TAI with Ck & Br.

Encouraging confidence and acceptance through shared performance work. Open mindsets and self-efficacy/ social and cooperative skills.Commitment, resilience and respect leading to achievement.

Year 10-13

1/6/15 - using blogs for Drama processes/ NCEA evidence - In term 1 & 2 students set up blogs and I was doing 1 period 1 fortnight, they were able to write more, especially the able students as they were not held to the pace of the slowest [as happened using notes on powerpoint] and it is an advantage being able to  insert video and research easily. In Term 3 I no longer need to book chrome books as my classes have been allocated chromebooks based in the Learning Centre which is more accessible. Also on Tuesday's I have 2 year 9's in a row so that saves handling.[31/7/15]

We are starting a trial of a new TAI process for our school appraisal system.
