 * Agenda**


 * No child is working below, no one is working above, everyone is working at their zpd. Students still have a challenge to reach their goals.
 * Everybody is at their own point of need
 * 3 e’s: Everyone is responsible for every child every day
 * Moral and ethical decisions at all times
 * All about relationships
 * Assessment: student pretest, student reflects and documents strengths and weaknesses. Highlight on goals form what they have achieved. Set future goals and attend workshops. Give TA three pieces of evidence to show how they’ve achieved their goal.
 * Schools aren’t made for teachers, it’s about the students.
 * No teacher aides... only paid integration aides to work with funded students only
 * Real learning can only be learning what the learner believes is next for me. (?)
 * Focus on child. No withdrawal from the learning area.
