Matt - Induction Session/Feedback (During Week 6)
First 6 weeks - Achievement
- Working as a team - Rangahau - I am very lucky to have cooperative and effective working relationships with my fellow Rangahau team members - I really appreciate their support and collaboration.
- Behaviour management & student-teacher relationships - I feel that I have worked hard to establish a positive environment and relationships with students - We are a team =)

- Room 27 Blog - This has proven to be a valuable tool for sharing learning to the wider school community. Feedback has been positive and all parents are subscribed to receive updates. I am excited to see where this will go this year.
- Communicating with parents/caregivers - Building on from the ‘meet the teacher’ evening I have endeavoured to build a familiarity with parents/caregivers - I have had a handful of face-to-face meetings for target students. I also requested a meeting with a local health nurse to discuss a programme that would best suit the needs of a child in Room 27 that has a medical condition - the feedback from parents has been positive =) The blog has been a great way to share & receive information from parents (in conjunction with the agenda books)
- PRT Release - I am unsure about the procedure for this - Should I be applying? (Who to?) Do I need to take it? How often?
- Planning - Should I be storing my electronic versions on ‘teacher shared’?
- Differentiation - Particularly mathematics
- Further Embedding ICT

Working with peers to develop resources and observations of lessons in te reo Māori
a) Induction process
An opportunity to meet and greet with fellow new staff members with senior members of staff at the beginning of the year (Shared breakfast on the first day perhaps)
A sit down reflection session (brief) at the end of the first week with all new staff just to catch up and share thoughts / concerns
b) General
The induction programme checklist (from the booklet) was a life-saver - It really helped in knowing who to talk to and what was required of me.
