Inclusive learning

What? 

Inclusive learning

So what?

For ELT today we discussed the following:

1. What does inclusion mean to us as educators? Compare with MoE.

2. How are we inclusive in our daily practice at OrmPS?

3. Success for all - What does this look like & feel like?

4. Focus for Term 3’s learning…Using innovative & flexible practices to meet the diverse needs of all learners

- Universal Design for Learning

5. Making a referral for learning or behavioural support

Now what?

I will use the universal design for learning to help me to plan learning to meet the diverse and variable needs of all learners.

Teaching practices

What?

For ELT today we had to think about what we want to be visible to anyone regarding each statement, big idea what do:

educators do

learners do

ILE does

So What?

We unpacked:

#1 Being Oresome: How we live and breath the 4Cs through our Matrix including acknowledgements and consequences.

#2 Collaborative: Our educator learning design and delivery is intentionally shared and responsive.

#3  Personalised: Learning is driven by OTJs including academic evidence, cultural background, personality types, learner agency.

#4 Innovative: How we maximise and are responsive to the curriculum, our learning spaces and teaching strengths.

#5 Learner Voice: Learners can articulate what they are doing, why, and where to next. They are actively engaged in their learning choices and journey.

Now what?

We should ensure that our teaching inspires learners and actively-engages them through meaningful and purposeful contexts in order for learners to facilitate their own learning journeys.

We need to personalise teaching and learning that targets each learner's’ individual needs through differentiation, high expectations and clear success criteria.

We should be a school that provides many opportunities for extracurricular interests to be explored.

We should do Deliberate Acts of Teaching (DATs) and learning, in both group and independent situations, that shows progress by all learners.

We should create an environment that offers ample opportunities for collaboration, choice/ student-agency and curiosity-driven learning within a range of learning settings.  

OrmPS Maths problem solving site

What?
Lisa and I created an awesome site for our school to that learning coaches can use when designing their Maths problem solving lessons.

So what?

• On our home page we  included some images and links about the Maths hub, the different strands in Maths and building a mathematical mindset community.

• Our level 1 page is made of number, fractions & strand problems

• Our level 2 page is made up of number, fractions , multiplication/ division & strand problems

• Our level 3 page is made up of number, fractions , multiplication/ division & strand problems

• We are still working on putting more problems on the level 4 page

• We also created a teacher resources page which includes articles to read,  problem solving sites,  problem solving books & printable resources

Now what?

• LC’s to explore this resource
• What can we do to make it better?
• LC’s to share their problems/ Add to database
