After an excruciating wait for my Maori learners to gain credits in maths, we seem to be reaping the rewards. One of my learners seems to have blossomed over the last 2 weeks by shifting from 0 to 7 credits. This is the e-mail he sent me about his change in attitude, effort and progress in maths.
"Every time you called my mum whether it was something good or bad it motivated me to do better in maths. The calls my mum received also helped me work harder to ask the teacher for help instead of acting like i know what im doing"
It is now onward and upward with my little treasure....................................... and I am well pleased.
“Explicitly model concise and consistent language so that learning is maximised.” My learning environment is about maximising learners potential through the use of: mastery (move forward at one's own pace as they master knowledge/skills), vicarious experiences (gain self-confidence while watching others successfully performing), social persuasion (intentional encouragement to adopt an attitude of success and emotional intelligence (ability to control one’s emotions and that of others).
