LEARN CREATE SHARE: Manaiakalani workshop Term 4 week 1.

I completed Challenge 3, Visible Teaching and Learning workflow, in the Kaikohekohe Teachers LCS workshop. I reflected on my own Visible Teaching and Learning Workflow to complete this activity.
It has made me realise where the gaps are in my own practice, and made me think about how I can get it out to my students' families for more whanau involvement.

Call back day #8 October 2nd, 2018.

What is the why behind everything you do?

4 values that are most important to me.

• Uniqueness
• Supportive
• Inspirational
• Determination

10 values of who you are.

• humourous
• inclusive
• challenging
• creative
• honest
• ethical
• encouraging
• reliable
• efficient
• respectful

My goal for term 4 is to work smarter not harder.

Ways I can achieve this are by utilising support systems within my classroom, school, and home-life.

Presentation by Hillary Nobilo & Duncan Anderson

Information was presented by Nobilo and Anderson on current understanding on brain development in the early years specific to vulnerable children.

What I have found interesting is the different stages of emotions that children experience, and the different parts of the brain and the jobs they have. 

Signs a child may be triggered

Anxiety, fear, and worry about safety of self and others (more clingy with a teacher or parent).

• Worry about recurrence of violence.
• Increased distress (unusually whiny, irritable, moody).
• Changes in behaviour.
• Increase in activity level.
• Decreased attention and/or concentration.
• Withdrawal from others or activities.
• Absenteeism.
• Increased somatic complaints (eg: headaches, stomach-aches, over reaction to minor bumps and bruises).
