What happened for the learners	Each learner had access to a teaching and learning Template for each Achievement Standard Algebra - Internal  3 credits - Numeracy ACHIEVED Form equations, Solve equations (line graph), Substitute MERIT Interpret data (in context) EXCELLENCE Create and solve your own equation Literacy Strategy: Chunking 3 Level Guide Achieved - Read on the line Merit - Read between the lines Excellence - Read beyond the lines Teaching Strategy Forming equations: Look for secret words: each, every, single, one, per; that number gets the letter Solving equations: =sum( Interpreting tables: Colour code cheapest prices and explain in context The Key Competency “managing self” encouraged learners to work at their own pace choose their desired achievement level for each std complete their learning programme by tracking their progress on a ViTaL sheet before sitting summative tasks Conferencing was done at the learner’s request Questions were answered with questions to promote independent thinking and proactive learners
What evidence do I have for this	Credits 2016 2017 0 credits (Maori) 33% 0% 1 std away from Numeracy (Maori) 50% 0% Numeracy (Maori) 17% 100% official Numeracy (Whole class) 26% 39% unofficial Numeracy cross curricula (Whole class) 38% 47% unofficial
What did I do to make this happen?	Teaching and learning was more visible using ViTaL sheets, Google sites and Google calendars Achievement criteria and Teaching/Learning Strategies were explained in “student speak” The use of standard-specific literacy strategies were more explicit and deliberate and understood and used by learners: Chunking Word definition 3 level guide Mnemonics Donut Give one, Get one Academic achievement data conversation (both across all curriculum levels and for mathematics, for the year level, were shared and discussed at regular intervals)
Wonderings about what next	Students - Can students continue to self manage next year with a different teacher? Teacher - Strategies to engage more Maori whanau so that we can best support the learner together
