MORE changes in the curriculum refresh!
UKD is now woven through (code word = removed)
What's the purpose of these recent changes? Turn the curriculum to a list of skills that can be tested at the end of the year!
All curriculum are designed for the lowest common denominator teacher. Don't interpret the curriculum too literally at the moment.
Knowledge
The facts, concepts, principles, and theories to teach
Practices
The skills, strategies, and applications to teach
The Knowledge is what the tamariki need to understand. The Practice is what we as teachers need to know, our explicit teaching.
DOs are completely gone. They're what the KNOWs were. The teaching considerations have been removed.
Changes nothing about how we teach - 75% is still the same.
Important - Read the 'Purpose Statement' on Page2
The new, NEW refresh is more specific and prescribed.
Geometry Tasks
Set the anchor/diagnostic (DMIC/Rich) task. 15minute diagnostic.
Prior to the session - highlight/list key vocab you would expect tamariki to be using at that year level. Know the language!
Teacher recording sheets - note the language/categorisation children have used and see what they know/don't know.
Afterwards - organise the intervention groups. What could you do to explicitly teach/ or support them to retain the language?
- Articulate, don't gesture.
- Role-model using the vocabulary
- Link it to literacy
- Redo the task at the end of the week.
- Use equipment, eg. Beebots
Take the task from the Concrete - Pictorial - Abstract
Going forward -
- Language of Mathematics - can we translate for ESOL?
- Share out the most recent changes of the Math refresh with staff
- The anchor/diagnostic task is only a15minute diagnostic. How does this work with DMIC (40min task)?
