Visible Teaching and Learning - Dorothy
Is the learning visible to all the students, teachers and family. Need to not hide the learning from the students otherwise the students often FAIL. Often they are stuck in the maze and are unable to find the right direction. The students do not need to read the teachers mind they need the experiences to create the learning. The day to day functions and groups (not the private and personal details).
Assessment- how much of it should be invisible? Why can’t we for warn the students/whanau about assessment and prepare them for the things that are coming into their day. Sharing some of the student’s results but in a positive way.
Parent portal. Are all parents able to access the portal and do they know what to do once they are in?
Visual appeal - shop window! Exploring different sites for different aspects, what works for the user and visual aspects.

You have a great start to put information.
Today I have updated my Pohutukawa 3 Site that was started last year. With great support I have created a folder that has sharing rights and I now understand that I will need to do all the planning in this folder if it is going onto the site. Within the folder I have created other folders that will relate to the buttons. I have created a slide for each reading group that I will add to each week for them to use and guide their independence. I have also embedded a video that relates to one of the reading groups texts. I am super excited that I have finally clicked to how this is supposed to work, the support from Kristine has been fantastic, answering all my little questions.
