Lyn [|Peter Benson - Sparks] This is already on the SDL wiki under Peter Benson but worth a revisit. Also readings in the PLT Dropbox folder. We want our students to be connected and engaged. What is their spark? Have you asked your students this year what their spark is? (Maybe ask in a student conference). Tell me what it is about you that gives you joy and energy? What is your spark? I am dying to know! It is our role to be nurturing our student’s sparks. Benson says you need to know student’s spark. He says at the first parent/teacher meeting, we should be naming the student’s spark. We need to know our own spark and practise the spark dialogue. Great opportunity to let students express their sparks more through the reintroduction of iTime.

Sherie [|Peter Benson - Sparks] Habits of Mind

Sorry Lyn - I had Sparks as well as Habits Of Mind. With both of these I was thinking that as our Year 6 students are already familiar with these that maybe they could run mini-seminars for the Year 5 students to teach them about them. We could then follow through with goal setting etc.

Active Learning Through Formative Assessment (Shirley Clarke) Chapter 8 - How will we know what learning objectives mean? This was a great chapter to get my head around success criteria. It is really important that we always have a WALT for our kids and that they generate their own success criteria when at all possible.
