Communication with students a key
Communication with students even by email is so important. This is a strategy to keep students informed and connected with the teacher kaiako during study leave when preparing for exams. This has certainly helped to avoid any major upsets for students. Be specific with times and dates.

Jumbled thoughts
Students thoughts are often a mind field there is a lot of thinking going on inside. You can often tell this by listening to them and observing their work. In this case i ask students to explain what it is they are trying to describe, identify or solve. I found being explicit about the action helped them organise or classify what their intended purpose was.

Student recalls a strategy they use while reading
Today i asked a student to explain to me a strategy she used when reading texts in māori, she responded confidently by explaining that she first looked at the vocab list (provided ) and went through the story marking words that she did not know either underlining them or using a highlighter.

Storing and filing student Results (The Matryoska Russian System)
The system relieved some of my own anxieties about locating student works and important docs with ease. I liken this system to the The MATRYOSKA RUSSIAN WHANAU SYSTEM but in my case the Māori equivalent.
Problem Solving Strategies in Te Reo Māori Texts.
Pānui is one of the focuses for the external exam, through out the year one of the greatest strategies for empowering students to problem solve difficult pieces of texts has been to work with students to help them identify common familiar threads and themes in the texts and than leave them to work out the more complex pieces on their own.
I have found students more receptive to this style of learning as they like to work it out themselves and feel more empowered building self confidence and self esteem. Part 2 has been to work on accuracy of their interpretations.
