Challenges
This term has been quite busy, making diving deeply into Tāne Mahuta challenging. With several language and special-themed weeks taking up significant class time, we struggled to allocate enough time to explore this term inquiry topic. Although students were engaged in various cultural activities, the limited time for our Tāne Mahuta project meant that many students couldn’t grasp the concepts as well as I’d hoped. Moving forward, I aim to balance the curriculum during busy terms better, ensuring that core learning topics like this receive attention.
Opportunities (What went well)
I’ve noticed an improvement in students’ handwriting and spelling this term. Many students write more neatly and consistently with regular practice and targeted feedback. Their spelling has also improved, mainly as we focus on common word patterns and rules. Although there’s still room for growth, the progress so far shows that their skills will keep improving with continued practice and support.
Future Growth(Goals, PD, Mentoring)
I plan to regularly reflect on my teaching practices to find areas for improvement and better understand effective strategies. I also want to connect with other educators to share best practices and gather ideas for using projects and digital tools in my lessons. By focusing on these areas, I believe I will grow significantly as an educator next term.
