While working with one of my students on their piece of writing it dawned on me (kua taka te kapa) how far my pedagogical beliefs had changed. Expectations are often clouded by past events that may have worked well at that time however new learning new strategies can often bring about positive outcomes if you are open to it. My pedagogical shift means that i am able to incorporate new strategies and learning without feeling hemmed in by my past beliefs in teaching.

Kia ora Melba, I looove your blog background, it's so colourful! What were one of your favourite new strategies you tried!
ReplyDeletekia ora Nicola hope you are well and oh just discovered your comment arohamai, i guess one of the biggest shifts this year has been to provide students with more problem solving opportunities to strengthen their vocab and grammar ability. Making sense of language patterns within a variety of different genre. Experimenting with language outside of their comfort zone. Ngā mihi.
