During this year I have altered the way I display my weekly planning. I used to keep all planning on my computer and only print it out in order for it to be filed into a term book. After finding out ways in which my team leader used her plans as her daily student planner, I though I'd like to try something similar. I wanted something that would promote student self-management skills and that could easily be seen, altered and positioned for when we needed to know each group was working toward.
Using a magnetic whiteboards for both reading and maths I am now able to display the week's work and learning objectives (WALHTs) quickly onto my teaching station whiteboard. Using this system I could use my working planning documents in a practical way for the students. Any changes I made to the hard copy plan could then be filed away into my term book at the end of each week.
Here is an example of a maths plan, the changes and post teaching anecdotal notes:
Here is the display of planning used as the student's reference during maths time. This gets placed next to the weekly and daily plan during maths lessons. Note: because this is a working online document I use the hyperlinks
Here is a finished maths plan- once used as the student's checklist I can make anecdotal notes on tasks as I go before filing at the end of the week. Here I found the Level 2 Dice Problem from nzmaths.com a real challenge for the Smart Cookies group, so I altered the plan to make the next lesson more suitable for the Brain Boxes by altering the planned activity)
