Refining my TAI (What, How, Why) - Focus on Design and Assessment for Learning

1. Design for Learning in mathematics involves creating a comprehensive plan or roadmap for teaching and learning mathematics. This design should consider the specific needs of the students and align with the NZC. 

I believe that mapping an effective maths program should include clear learning objectives, a scope and sequence, lesson plans and resources, PLDs for teachers, and monitoring student progress using formative and summative assessments.

2. Assessment for learning (AfL) is a critical aspect of teaching mathematics in primary schools. It involves a process of ongoing evaluation and feedback to help students understand:

  • what they have learnt, 
  • what they need to improve
  • how to achieve their learning goals. 

In the context of mathematics, AfL is particularly important because it allows teachers to identify areas where students are struggling and tailor their teaching to meet individual needs.

I discussed my 2023 inquiry focus with a number of leaders and teachers at my school and was impressed by their responses. I'm ready to embark on a new challenge and thrilled to be doing so with the GTS collaborative team.
