    An interesting collection of tips associated with the art of writing from Elmore Leonard. Definitely gets you thinking. 1. Never open a book with weather. 2. Avoid prologues. 3. Never use a verb other than ''said'' to carry dialogue. 4. Never use an adverb to modify the verb ''said'' . . . 5. Keep your exclamation points under control. 6. Never use the words ''suddenly'' or ''all hell broke loose.'' 7. Use regional dialect, patois, sparingly. 8. Avoid detailed descriptions of characters. 9. Don't go into great detail describing places and things. 10. Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip. 11. If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it.

meetings professional development reflection

shared by Aaron Davis on 20 Sep 14 - No Cached
  • Does every meeting in your school relate to or result in learning?
  • Does every lesson in your classroom contribute to meaningful learning, rather than completion of work?
  • ‘Have you ever had to sit through a whole hour when you felt like the substance of the meeting could have been handled in five minutes?’
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • 2. Have we established the connection between the work of this and other meetings in the series?
  • 1. Have we identified clear and important meeting objectives that contribute to the goal of improving learning?
  • 3 Have we incorporated feedback from previous meetings?
  • 8. Have we put time allocations to each activity on the agenda?
  • 4. Have we chosen challenging activities that advance the meeting objectives and engage all participants?
  • 5. Have we built in time to identify and commit to next steps?
  • 6. Have we built in time for assessment of what worked and what didn’t in the meeting?
  • 7. Have we gathered or developed materials that will help to focus and advance the meeting objectives?
  • ‘Have you planned a thoughtful meeting only to have it derailed by a couple of rogues participants who have their own agendas?’
  • 9. Have we ensured that we will address the primary objective early in the meeting? 
  • 10. Is it realistic that we could get through our agenda in the time allocated?

    "The English Developmental Continuum F-10 provides evidence based indicators of progress, linked to powerful teaching strategies, aligned to the progression points and the achievement standards for the AusVELS English Domain. These teaching strategies are designed to support purposeful teaching of individuals and small groups of students with similar learning needs. It is intended that teachers use the strategies in the context of their own classrooms, text or topic being taught."

    The Mathematics Developmental Continuum F-10 provides evidence based indicators of progress, linked to powerful teaching strategies, aligned to the progression points and the achievement standards of AusVELS Mathematics. Indicators of progress are points on the learning continuum that highlight critical understandings required by students in order to progress through the AusVELS achievement standards. --- A great place to build your content knowledge, but also a great place show where the next step is.

    "The following account comes from a veteran HS teacher who just became a Coach in her building. Because her experience is so vivid and sobering I have kept her identity anonymous. But nothing she describes is any different than my own experience in sitting in HS classes for long periods of time. And this report of course accords fully with the results of our student surveys.  "

inquiry teachers pedagogy learning 21st Century Learning

shared by Aaron Davis on 22 Feb 14 - No Cached
  • The planning and the teaching are certainly deeply connected but – too often, inquiry seems almost synonymous with ‘units’.   The cringe-worthy phrase “we do inquiry” usually means: we fill in an inquiry planner using a cycle/framework of inquiry
  • Inquiry is not just about knowing how to plan – it’s about how we teach
  • 1. They talk less
  • ...13 more annotations...
  •  2. They ask more.
  •  3. They relate
  • 4. They let kids in on the secret
  • 5. They use language that is invitational and acknowledges the elasticity of ideas.
  •  6. They check in with their kids – a lot
  • They remain open to possibility…
  •  7. They collaborate with their students. They trust them!
  •  8. They use great, challenging, authentic resources
  •  9. They are passionate and energetic.
  •  10. They see the bigger picture
  • 11. They invite, celebrate and USE questions, wonderings, uncertainties and tensions that arise from their students.
  • Good inquiry teachers know how to get more kids thinking more deeply more of the time.
  • Programs and planners don’t make inquiry happen. Teachers and learners do.
  • Aaron Davis on 22 Feb 14
     
    A great post from Kath Murdoch in which she outlines how inquiry teacher teach. What I really liked about it is that even if you don't 'do inquiry' you can still take some of the facets of an inquiry teacher.

Leadership effective schools learning

  • One of the first leadership decisions I made was to work with staff to audit our schools meta-curriculum. That is all of those programs, events, celebrations, operational arrangements and practices which are not core to the teaching and learning that happens inside classrooms.
  • My mantra was to “give teachers permission to spend their time improving the learning of the students in their class with minimal disruption”.
  • Students are spending less time out of classrooms and more time focused on their own learning.

  • Who owns the material and it’s components when it’s published?
  • How can schools not only inform but encourage the school community to start using licensing and working safely to avoid being prosecuted?
  • Understanding what is and isn;t ok is a crucial skill for all to learn and I hope this information helps schools get more confident with publishing material online.
