CoL Update (Term 3, Week 5)

As the Manaiakalani Hui is this week, I really wanted to analyse my student achievement data so I could say with confidence if they have moved or not.

Reading.

	TERM 1
	PROBE	PM BENCHMARK
Kian	F 5 - 6 YRS	Level 10
Ryan	F 7.5 - 8.5 YRS	NA
Paul	F 5.5 - 6.5 YRS	Level 18

	TERM 2
	PROBE	PM BENCHMARK
Kian	F 5.5 - 6.5 YRS	Level 10
Ryan	8 - 9 YRS	NA
Paul	6 - 7 YRS	Level 18

	mid TERM 3
	PROBE	PM BENCHMARK
Kian		Level 12
Ryan	8 - 9 YRS	NA
Paul	7.5-8.5 YRS	Level 21

Paul has made SIGNIFICANT shift this year. I definitely think that it down to him yes knowing more English, but also that he works with others and learns from them. Putting him and Kian in mixed-ability reading groups for the second half of Term 2 and so far this term has made huge shifts.

I would expect this area to have the most significant shift, as this is the area we work on the most in targeted groups and also the learning area I have paid most attention to in terms of the students Key Comps.

Maths.

Kian - No shift, but a huge achievement that he maintained his Term 1 achievement levels

Paul - shift in all areas of GLOSS test.

Ryan - Shift in his add/sub, maintained all other areas.

KIAN	S5E	S5	S5E	S5E
PAUL	S5E	S6	S5E	S4
RYAN	S5	S6E	S5	S5

In Term 1 we did Schonnell spelling and in Term 2 we did Peters.

Paul and Kian also do Essential spelling list because they don't do amazingly well on Schonnel.

Kian - 10 (6 years old)

Paul - 12 (6 years old)

Ryan - 36 (8.6 years old)

Term 2 - Peters.

Kian - 11 words correct.

Paul - 17 words correct.

Ryan - 37 words correct.

Term 3 Essential spelling test.

Non-academic changes
Ryan - Ryan is more settled and is doing more learning now than he ever has before. Although he is in a rough spot right now with a million and one things happening in his life, he is doing really well and is able to manage himself so he can get some learning done.

Kian - Kian's learning has shifted since the beginning of the year. His maths is more focused on maintenance and not forgetting what he can do, but his reading and writing have hugely improved. He used voice typing to write because it works better for him and this differentiation has provided him with the opportunity for success. He loves working with other people and typically gets more learning completed as well, however he has some confidence issues to work through when working inpedendantly.

Paul - Paul has made huge shifts in learning, but also is a lot more confident to participate and share ideas regardless of the context. He works with more people (including girls) and will offer help to others when he knows what he is doing. He can confidently ask other adults questions or deliver objects/messages to other teachers in the school.
