With regards to Sera and her comment. I concur with your thoughts of talking to your SLT. During our school production I had a lot of students out of my class. I decided to run an Arts programme parallel to the production. The students who were left in class had the opportunity to design the set, props and programme. We delved into advertisements for the production and researched the theatrical environment. This was a true and authentic learning experience. I would suggest this to any team, who might be doing a production.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654563427265157229.post-72038238759704714232016-10-17T16:54:53.793-07:002016-10-17T16:54:53.793-07:00Hi Dion,

I know the use of the google suite has helped this, with there being no need to be in the same room or working at the same time. Another contributing factor to collaborative teaching failing is relationships between teaching staff - I believe there needs to a be a really good working relationship for them to be truly collaboratively effective.<br /><br />My nirvana in the sky is teaching a subject-less classroom where all subject blend in. There are few things in life that are segregated this way and I don't see why school has been or needs to continue to be. I really like some of the ideas you've put forward in the comments section here - definitely the right way forward :)Ms. Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04972274083544220303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654563427265157229.post-42173654618488834752016-10-14T11:39:40.246-07:002016-10-14T11:39:40.246-07:00Hi Sera, thank for your post.

We have an opportunity to make new connections across the learners in our primary school when the majority of our students opt into kapahaka or choir and the remaining students are back in class. We have been discussing for a while now for a languages programme or digital technology programme happening at the same time. I think your suggestion for touching base with other Art staff and the SLT is a great way forward. Getting the students input through a survey could be valuable also. I have been implementing programmes that I haven't been able to in the daily timetable in these Arts times as I have recognised this time as an authentic opportunity to create projects that relate to the interests of my students. I love your ideas that link to the school production. A could see a timetabled Arts time working as it gives a formal time frame for students to work in.

I wonder if having a conversation to SLT about having planning days over the course of the year to support the design, structure, reflection and sharing of information to help make I.C a useful format 'could/would' work? I might talk to my HOF again. We have talked around how we could be timetabled so that students can be ART students and kind of work on projects like the School Production and learning around areas of interest and aligning those to Achievement Standards. For example a student may be able to complete a music piece, perform in a group dance and design the set (some scenes) to accumulate a myriad of learning. I would like it to be Authentic Learning - but again, I feel like this would require lots of touching base with the other Art staff......where and how can we find that time if it is not scheduled in from SLT? Big and EXCITING questions for Term 4 planning for 2017!!!! Any suggestions??shyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676635517732963282noreply@blogger.com
