Some minor behaviours observed and experienced in

our habitat

1. Constant whistling
2. Continuously tapping pen or pencil
3. Calling out
4. Disruption of learning-constant talking
5. Going missing - hiding - walkabout.
6. Inappropriate language
7. Misuse of equipment
8. Throwing stationary/ habitat resources/equipment
9. Riding wheelie chairs

Some strategies we can use to overcome these behaviours are:

• proximity control
• signal or non verbal cues
• proximity praise
• prompt
• redirect
• reteach
• provide choice
• conversation

Hunches for LH 1

Today for our collaborative spiral of inquiry our learning habitat came up with the following hunch.

We wonder if …one open iExperience spark would encourage learners to take agency and collaborate in new ways and create an atmosphere where more self driven learners can guide their own journey around the provided open iExperience Spark while providing an opportunity for learners to have a directed task to have the safety net to take risk and develop their own learner agency ?

#1: We wonder if learners perceive us as learners participating together in the process of the iExperience with unprescribed outcomes?

#2: We wonder how we can get learner voice about next steps and collaborate together about “Where to next?” at the end of every iExperience session and

3# How do we respond collectively to learner voice feedback and  other LC responses to collaboratively plan next steps?

Week 2 Term 4

I had a great start to term 4, week 1 at Ormiston Primary School. I know the names of all the students in my Hapu group and I am now trying to find out more about them. The students are getting used to their routines and are following their daily designs as planned for them. They are learning to work more collaboratively during their workshops and are sharing their learning with the rest of the group.

My first week back

I am really excited about starting as a learning coach in an awesome school, Ormiston Primary. I am enjoying working collaboratively with other learning coaches in an innovative learning environment designing learning opportunities for the students that I teach. The staff and students have been friendly and welcoming so far and I have had a great start to the term. I am looking forward to  the rest of my time here being a part of Ormiston Primary School.
