What did we do last week within our classrooms to move closer to a 10?

 

Staff were then asked at the next staff meeting to share what they did in their classroom to move closer to a 10. They were then asked if our school demonstrated Parameter 1 what would it look like? How could we move our reality to our belief? Their thoughts were captured below.


Staff reflected on what were the barriers that were inhibiting our school and the people within it from achieving this 10. Their thoughts were captured below.

Lyn's video showed how we can demonstrate to students how to succeed - connecting it to prompts, resources, anchor charts and Bump It Up Walls. Staff sat in their PLTs (which included their TA) and divided their page into a Ta chart. Staff examined two work samples and analyzed what did the samples both have and what did the better sample have. Staff then shared this with another PLT and together they co-constructed what is the success criteria (standards - what students do to attain the Learning Intention). They were instructed to ensure their Success Criteria enabled all students to achieve at least one aspect of success. Success Criteria was then shared around the room through a gallery walk. Two PLTs at each Success Criteria T chart were asked to reflect on the
