Chill leaders from Ilam are running a teaching session with chill leaders from other schools on Tuesday 10 November.

Developing an online presence where schools can share ideas and challenge and support each other's thinking
Through the Ariki Project all teachers are using an online concept map web diary to create presentations and reflection from their quality learning circle groups related to school goals. Sample of ariki summary and reflection pages. http://screencast.com/t/r8Hpk9HIN

Some comments from teacher below and an analysis of presentation themes.

"-'s presentation reinforced my belief that students should have ownership of their learning, set goals, and monitor themselves. I will seek to improve my practive of co-constructing success criteria with the students and inroduce carrels and SRL stars into my classroom."

It was interesting to hear 3 different approaches to this area of learning for students. The peer share idea is one that I personally think is very valuable. The comic life aspect aslo pulled children in that were reluctant. This is what is all about for me finding ways to pull in the learners that are reluctant."

"I have found children more keyed in to talking about the learning intentions and helping to write what successes would look like. Again, I need to look more at how we co-construct effective success criteria that are explicit enough. Child input versus teacher input - getting a good balance."

Teacher presentation themes in QLC groups have been about:
