Thinking of the Focus for my 2021 Inquiry - #1

Earlier this year, we had a WFRC presentation about our 2020 cluster achievement data and current needs. Professor Rebecca Jesson unpacked multiple ‘layers’ of information and data that have informed ‘what we need to focus on and improve next’ for Manaiakalani. While our cluster and school Writing data has continued to show accelerated progress over the past years, we haven't achieved the same results in Reding and Maths. 


Looking at my 2021 class data and individual students' needs, I feel the strong urge to accelerate my students' learning in all areas of the curriculum. As Professor R Jesson emphasized in her presentation, students learn better when they have a goal or a real purpose to learn, create and share. Based on my own experience, I completely agree with her professional judgement.


My previous inquiries proved the effectiveness of connected learning, and I think that I should continue developing my deeper understanding and effective implementation of the integrated curriculum, especially it will be interesting to test with my diverse learners.
