“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).

No child left behind
We can learn a great deal from our gorgeous learners.
After a somewhat disruptive day taking sporting, cultural and class photos throughout the day, my year 10's were in top form for the last period of the week. We are building our confidence with the Algebra strand in maths and had an option to do a Quizlet Activity, where each learner works at their pace and can compete against the clock for some activities OR a quizizz activity where the class competes against each other.
On our first attempt, we had an accuracy rate of 56% and there were numerous requests to give the quiz another go. When I questioned students, they informed me that they were aiming for 80% accuracy. After numerous attempts, we reached an accuracy rate of 83%. I thought, mission accomplished.......................... Well......................students decided to shift the goal posts and were aiming for 100% accuracy.
Students decided that collaboration was the way to achieve this goal. The school bell rang at 3.00 pm and all remained behind so that no child was left behind. They stayed until the last student completed the quiz and we have pics below to prove our 100% accuracy rate.
What a way to end the week!
