Practicing Teacher Criteria (Previously RTC)

Sunday, September 4, 2016


Date:
23/08/2016
Focus:
Running Records
Big Idea:
Analysing Running Records
Key Ideas/Messages that informed/or challenge my teaching practice
  • Seen V unseen = definition in standards
  • Marie Clay resource books
  • Important that there is consistency
  • Teacher needs to relinquish teaching/telling when conducting RR. Can say ‘try that again’ or ‘you try it’
  • Blank RR sheet is best because we should be using seen texts that students have had during guided reading sessions.
  • Lots of people are moving away from PM benchmark
  • Recording student attempts and how they process is very important.
  • Is sending readers at instructional level a good idea?
  • When referring to RTLB use instructional texts
  • Main purpose of RR is to inform teaching.
  • Analyse errors for what they are using. Same for SC.
  • Initially students rely on M and S
  • As they develop the need to pay more attention to visual cues. Students should hopefully be using all of these as they develop.
  • Your teaching should facilitate the the child taking action to solve their problem.
  • When giving feedback to kids we don’t want to tell them, but get them to go back and re-read and find and fix the mistake themselves.
  • Fluency and phrasing are things to address during shared reading and guided reading. Start early! Groups of words.
  • FInger pointing does not help with this!
Implications/Actions for my teaching practice
  • I need to ensure that I am analysing running records to provide information to inform my teaching.
  • During guided sessions I have been guilty of directing students to the answer instead of helping them to find it themselves.
  • I will have a conversation with my team leader about what level books we are sending home...
Reflection on actions to share at next meeting
