Designing learning to meeting the needs of EVERY student.

Presenter: Lesley Murphy, Angela Johnston

I had the great opportunity to attend U learn breakout on "Designing learning to meet the needs of EVERY student".
Below I have included notes on the session.

• Meeting the needs of every students meant meeting the needs of EVERY single student. 
• Every student in the whole school no matter who is working with them. 
• We need to be involved as educators in the paradise. 
• One decision at a time-is how a paradime is made: by the quality of the decisions tat we make.
• Why we do? And what we do in education. 
• What are the systems, structures, processes, theories, pedagogies and then practices that are needed to ensure we are meeting the needs of every single child. 

Pedagogical practices:

1. personalisation of learning. 
2. team teaching and collaboration 
3. student agency and insiderness
4. intergral, holistic curriculum
5. learning to be learners. 
6. caring as competence and action. 
7. High expectations 
8. Teaching AND learning. 

• Student voice/community voice.
• tasters/ whole school experiences. 
• First/next timetable...first this then that.....
• Group learning Maps: Seeing trends and patterns. 

I really found the part then the presenters talked about the use of learning Maps as per the picture above. Learning maps are used to grow student agency by connecting the student, teaching professionals, families and whanau with one another.  Leaning maps help in enabling the students to me more connected to their learning and what they are learning.
