Term 3 Week 7 Student Teacher

I had 4 student teachers last year and so said that this year I would give other teachers the opportunity and not take any student teachers into my room.  However with Courtney leaving, the first year student, Tristan Williams, who had completed one week early in Term 2, needed a placement for the longer 3 week placement.  He was assigned to Room 22.

Comments/Notes/Future Actions:

Tristan was keen to build on his knowledge and ability with Te Reo by working firstly with the mihi and then on the actions for Tu Tira Mai. He had many ideas for possible directions of learning and, through discussion was able to hone his focus in on the learning direction.  Tristan demonstrated a good understanding of the learning steps needed with his small group during math with clarifying place value understandings and standard form addition.  Tristan worked with whole class as introductions to the learning, then worked with groups as the need was identified and individually conferenced by roving.

Comments/Notes/Future Actions:
Tristan was able to build positive relationships with the students.  He focussed on learning names and finding out about the students so he could enter into a conversation with them.  The All about Me sequence of lessons gave a further opportunity to build a relationship with the students.

Tristan coached a football team at morning tea and played handball with the students from the wider Year 6 team.  He interacted daily with the other two teachers in the Year 6 team and took a full part in staff meetings and team meetings.

Tristan had a goal of interacting with staff by being in the staff room at break times and initiating conversations.

Next Learning Step:  Lessons are differentiated for different groups of learners based on assessment information. 

Thank you Tristan for your willingness to be part of the Room 22 team. You easily developed relationships with the students and easily became part of the Year 6 teaching team.  You were reflective in your lesson planning and were honest in your self-assessment of lessons.  The very best wishes for your future career. Room 22 have very much enjoyed having you and are obviously going to miss you …. By the clap you received and the number of goodbyes!!
