Create a diagram that links your experiences to one or more specific leadership theories, with some explanation of these links

Week 5 Digital reflection

 Consider how the new digital curriculum might link to your Digital 1 innovation - might this affect how you lead the implementation of your innovation?

yes - the new curriculum has stages of development that help to reach a higher level of thinking. 
Coding and coding collaboratively to solve a problem helps to raise the level rather than just coding individually.

LOved this Ted Talk on coding relevant to my age level.

Growth Mindset

Step by step scaffolding

over emphasis on talent
fixed mindset it is a trait just that.

not there YET

eg - the new bike - use an pattern of thinking

al·go·rithm
NOUN
1.
a set of rules for solving a problem in a finite number of steps, as for finding the greatest common divisor.
knowledge doesn't always = understanding


Their belief that the next try has a chance of success is what fuels their perseverance, and over time, this results in higher achievement (Blackwell et al., 2007).

studies show that students’ motivation, perseverance and achievement can be increased by teaching a growth mindset (Aronson et al., 2001; Blackwell et al., 2007; Good et al., 2003). 

On the other hand, praising effort and hard work focuses students on learning and creates “gritty,” resilient learners. 

“error climate,” important elements of the classroom environment that can hinder or promote risk-taking and a student’s ability to sustain a sense of self-efficacy (Steuer, et al, 2013). 

Embedding growth mindset in a school or classroom culture includes embedding it into the curriculum. Instruction should reflect the language, strategies, and expectations of effortful learning, risk-taking, and productive failure. Students need to learn how to persevere in smart and strategic ways, ways that may be different from one content area to another. And teachers and peers need to commit to the culture, as well reinforce and reward resilient behavior. It’s a challenge, but those of us with a growth mindset seek them out.

URL for google scholar


Week 5 using scratch


can search click on flag

Researching

Week 5 - Using the

The Mind Lab e-library

Use the search engine quite specifically
Have a goal or purpose.
Referencing can be clicked on paper clip and copy pasted into APA referencing.
I used the KC as a search can use leadership attributes as a key word as well.

Can also use google scholar - for specifically things in New Zealand.

Reflection on What 60 Schools Can Tell Us About Teaching 21st Century Skills


What 60 Schools Can Tell Us About Teaching 21st Century Skill

Travelled around America states. 

Noticed that each schools have problems that the other solve. 

Change from industrial model. 

Hard change changes of greif /don’t know why it shold be that hard
Berlin airlift was hard raising children in poverty as single mum is hard.

Change is comlicated and essey change is uncomfortable

Bright lights of inovation mosaic innovation

Student ownership of learning 

Blooms taxonomy - talking to us how we learn
Adaptive crossing subject boundaries

Relavant - connect the dots

Empathy - 

Innnovation vrs tradition that makes us strong

2nd grader ewe fail forward and fail 

Industrial age model not going back 

Global eco system.

4.50000 years living through explosive resoluation of 5th sphere 

Philophines ive off $2 a day are connected to the cognetisphere.... connected through a cell phone how we connect going forward.

Where do we want to be as educators what does great learning look like?

Medasorrie told us 

We as the adults have constructed in attempt to control education
My class, my subject my time

Dams we have burned

innovation is marvellous
college board shove into packets of context rather than contect

prevent us from commections silos of classroom inward focus rather than going out
break down the dams education is exploding

1 teach into the inknown don’t know what it is like.

 If world changing -timeless skills not 21st century skills teach to be self evolving learners we need to become self evlving learners.
Constant change
preparing for their future not their past. 

Challenge issue to us
Dont talk just do fan fires of innovation 
learning opportunities of learning. 




What we can do with the information that we have.

Content driven rather than context driven.

Learning organistaion and organistational learning.

I go to a place to learn = learning org
All learn together = eco system.






his guide describes 
six rubrics of 21st century 
learning
, each of which represents an 
important skill for students for develop:
collaboration
knowledge construction
self
-
regulation 
real
-
world problem
-
solving and innovation
the use of ICT for learning
skilled communication 

Video we made on knowledge shared to google drive week 1. (group work)




The skills for modern day.


The 2 different views that fuel educational stance....



from the video what I learned....for week 2 prep.

Week 2. - Reflect on Key comps




Self Assess on my 5 Key Competencies and He Tikanga Whakaaro’s in my teaching and leadership practice 


Strengths 
Applying authentic contexts for the children such as the sea providing talks from local speakers such as Poor Knights speaker Kimberly and a local sailor on Hauraki Gulf.

Thinking 
Intellectual curiosity through mapping as inquiry - leading children to have an authentic voice in their learning. 

Using Language symbols and texts 
effectively use ICT 

Managing self 

“can do attitude through daily tasks in the daily 5 reading programme which promotes independence and choice making. 

Relating to others
Listen actively - use the daily 5 as taught in Incredible Years programme 
Special character in corporated in idea of how their words and actions effect others.

Participating and contributing
actively involved in communities through acts of service, eco choices like clean up times. 


and weaknesses

need to effectively use ICT more for modern day learners and provide opportunities to do so more in and out of class.

Thinking

shaping actions, or constructing knowledge

Managing self
reliable, and resilient. 

Relating to others 
need more opportunities for triadic groups not only in mathematics time, think pair share more readily.


Participating and contributing
By working effectively together, they can come up with new approaches, ideas, and ways of thinking.
School structures made by teachers tend to dominate this process, allow more thought to come from children in junior school on better ways to have clean up for example. 

More global approaches used 

                                     Tātaritanga (thinking and making meaning)

                              Oral talk in class rather than dictated to - using oral language as an effective learning tool rather than just having teacher as source of all knowledge. 



Rangatiratanga (personal autonomy and leadership)
Prayer monitors and helping hands set up
Triadic learning groups in maths etc. 


Whakawhanaungatanga (establishing relationships)
Through kawakawa cream making with local iwi and knowledge of Maori medicine. 
understanding of how to make and the kaupapa associated with it. 

Relating to others - Manaakitanga (a context of caring relationships)
Nativity play links with whanau to perform with extended whanau and whanau. 
In class relationships formed positively 
Friendships formed. 

Participating and contributing
worm farms  and eco friendly lunches
making honey wraps for linking to the positive relationship with teh land. 


Whaiwāhitanga (engagement and participation).







Leadership



Leadership needs correct style of follower ship to succeed.

Starting out......week 1



We created skills that make us a life long learner.
