It was great to have Jan with us this morning for some professional development. We are aware that we need to have our milestone to Jan by the 22 May. One thing that we need to do as Lead Teachers is to encourage the sharing of the challenges and successes of their classroom inquiries and the process that they themselves are going through, by means of blogging. The Ministry are expecting schools to be using as much as possible web 2 tools. This means using wikis, blogs, websites and PODCASTING. From this, the students are getting an authentic audience and contributing to global audiences.
Our 2 big things for this year are assessment and having a "toolbox".
We are setting up for our Celebration Day, whereby the whole school will be sharing their class inquiry to some of their peers. This will be happening in the last week of school.
