Thanks to RPI - our team have had an exciting experience with Reading this year. This opportunity has enabled us to make some effective changes to our Reading Programme and has resulted in some great student output, better teacher practice and teacher/student engagement.
Some of the exciting changes we made along the way and through the course of this intervention was our decision to cross-teach our Senior students this year. Part of the reason for this, was because we started the year off sharing one learning space - Our School Hall, while our classes were being renovated. This prompted us to use an MLE approach of teaching, which we believe was really successfully.
We moved back into our single cell classes for the beginning of Term 2, but we continued the MLE approach of team teaching and cross-grouping. This resulted in creating a learning site for the team as a whole, rather than individual classes.
Through this site, the kids can access learning resources from Term 1 till now. This encourages REWINDABLE learning and gives access for the learners to go back through what has been taught earlier in the year. If they feel the need to refresh on a math or reading strategy, or go through the structure of a particular writing genre, all can be accessed through the learning site.
