Mayleen Gautusa - ALL Accelerated Learning in Literacy - 26th March 2018

Meeting Type
PD - ALL meeting with Mayleen Gautusa from Team Solutions

Motivation
An intervention to accelerate students learning in literacy

How will it help me?
Mayleen came in to run a short introductory session with the team on what the ALL programme is all about. She briefly explained the difference between acceleration vs remedial. I spoke on what I have been doing with my target students so far. Mayleen was able to create a brief discussion on what each teacher has identified as a learning need in their classes. Each teacher was able to share at least one area that needed honing in for some of their target students.

So What?

Cycle 1 of the intervention will no longer be myself but will include Mary and Whaea Pene. This will bring consistency in what it is we'll be teaching the students but also making sure we understand what it is we need to do. Having Maybeen guide us through the intervention will be beneficial and will help us accomplish the action plan and goals we have set for our target students. I am excited about this programme because I really want my target boys to feel successful in the area of Writing.
