I am in the process of reviewing my NCEA L1 Maori achievement data and because I had the benefit of teaching two NCEA L1 maths classes this year, I have evidence to show that the most successful Maori students this year were the ones who arrived at the college in year 9 at curriculum L4 and were in smaller classes in year 11.
The bottom line is that a firm foundation in maths and class size matters for our Maori learners.
“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).
