Noticing and Investigating leading to Hypthothesizing and Reflection Term 1 Weeks 1-5

Observations have been ticking away. And within that I have started to create my thoughts and Inquiry for the year ahead. Not only am I considering our SG from our AOV but I have to think deeper and extend my new learning to the whole class. 

I was lucky in the fact I was trusted to 'hand pick' my class. I  felt a real desire to seperate those children who I had already noticed as having real learnng in problems in the mainstream classroom. As a mum I alsways think what if that was my child? Is that teacher doing the best for my child at the presnt time? Are things resource/changes out there that could help those with high learnign needs without making them feel like they are different.

This is important to me becasue I look araound everyday and internally I am stuggling with why and how they have got to this point. A: under radar? B: Resisilence? Resistance? C: Coping startgies such a micking, [parroting, behaviuor)...I dont know why and how they may have been missed but hopefully with a few changes I can make our learning and teaching much more visable and be able to say Yes they do have DLD, GLD, Dyslexoa, Dysgraphia, however look at the mahi they can do using Digital tools and look at how they have progressed through a Structured Reading and Writing programme.

My Inquiry Question:

Will having a Strucutred Literacy focus in Instructional Reading , handwrtitng and Writing time help assist our learners with high learning needs show growth in attitiude, engagment, and data results.
