This morning there was a small turnout for our parent
information session on students taking responsibility for their own learning.
It was good to have the opportunity to not only share information but to listen
to any ideas or issues that arose.
It is always good to talk about something with parents in
the morning and then see it in in evidence around the school later in the day.
Classes were engaged in everything from handwriting to hands-on practical measurement
activities. From this there was a range
of examples of students taking responsibility for their own learning. Some were
choosing to take an activity further and investigate ideas of their own. A group was collaborating to make best use of the computers. Others were locating resources to improve their performance on a task they had been set. All of these demonstrate self responsibility and students making decisions for their learning.
For the next two days I will be attending information
sessions for new principals. I will be back on Friday.
