 * Continuing with the Numeracy wiki thread which provides online assistance with websites, ideas, planning, PDL and feedback/feed forward.
 * Developing an action plan
 * Indicators will be an increase in Maths progress results at the end of Term 4 in classroom assessment data statistics

This is over a year period and will be assessed with Solo Taxonomy. The inquiry process will be introduced and guided. Learning buddies could be used to help children with this development.
 * 3. Inquiry **

Both within my class and with other tamariki in the school. Children will use Restorative conversations, Community circles and positive behaviours towards others as indicators of this.

This will include ipads, apple computer, wikis, blog, websites, any new equipment introduced and will relate to both programmes and equipment.

 * __**Writing- Classroom goal**__
 * I have raised the standard of writing within Room 2 to 82% of children at or above National Standard in writing. I have increased motivation especially from 3 previously reluctant writers who now are keen to write. (30/11/14)** ||
 * __Maths and Inquiry- School goals__**
 * ** I have regularly tested children throughout the year with triangulation of data eg NUMP, OTJs and other tests such as unit testing related to National Standard exemplars and levels ( 30/11/14) **


 * I have used this information to plan programmes and identify teaching strategies and individual assessment, goals and where to next with the tamariki in my groups. **
 * The school has been streamed for Maths according to levels with children requiring a lot of extra help working with the Teachers aide. My students (group) have all moved up a Stage in the 2 terms that I have had them. **
 * I have, with a small group been able to meet individual needs and work 1 to 1 with each child to address these. **


 * I use teaching as inquiry as a basis for all my teaching, using feedback and feed forward to ask ‘where to next” **

**I have strong relationships with the children and their whanau and know them all well. I keep a record (since T3) of the frequent conversations and interactions I have with whanau. Some several times a week.**
 * As mentioned above regular opportunities and interactions take place with whanau to help with goal setting for their tamariki and show them their child’s progress. (30/11/14) **
 * I have held PDL and have regularly updated the Riverslea Numeracy wiki page which gives and shares links for resources, sites, ideas, PDL, testing sheets etc (30/11/14).**
 * The charter target was not met but many children achieved at or above for National Standard (refer Analysis of variance – (Dion Crouch) (30/11/14) ** ||
 * ** __PB4L__ **


 * I care for my students and their wellbeing. I have made huge improvements in major behaviour problems with 2 children and am now working on a new entrant’s behaviour which, after a settling in period, he is now showing anger and aggression and swearing. **
 * Children from my class and others always approach me with problems and news and events to share. **

__**Wikis**__
 * I use PB4L and restorative conversations which incorporate our SWEET AS programme when addressing behaviour. I am student centred, inclusive,and respect all cultures.I teach and emotional, relationship and decision making skills with the tamariki (30/11/14) ** ||
 * I have encouraged teachers and offered help often with the wikis. I have given examples and advice. I am now waiting for teachers to finish updating their wikis and am on hand to help with any concerns or queries (30/11/14) **


 * Performance and Development Record **
 * ** Short Term goal : **
 * To contribute to and be part of a new exciting team that leads the learning and development and successes of the tamariki at Riverslea school.** ||
 * ** Medium Term goal(s) : **
 * To meet the goals (specific and leadership) that I have set myself this year.** ||
 * ** Long Term goal(s) : **
 * To continue to grow and evolve in my teaching skills in line with the Registered teacher criteria and develop areas that I find challenging to become successful aspects of my teaching (eg ICT)**


 * I have taught at many schools around Hastings and in Wanganui at all levels from Year 0 to Year 8 and all Deciles from 1A to 10. I have previously been a DP and twice an Acting Principal. Although I am strong in administrative skills, I find that my heart and aspirations lie in the Decile 1 Junior area in classroom teaching as a GP (General Practitioner). I love teaching and am an experienced educator that has remained up to date with all areas of the curriculum and new developments in teaching.** ||


 * **__Dec 2014 Short term goal analysis__**
 * Ihave tried to be part of a team, but have not always been included as the Middle and Senior school work together in many aspects eg Reading, Inquiry, sport and trips. I look forward to more Tuakana –teina activities next year.** ||
 * **__Dec 2014 Medium term goal analysis__**
 * I have been able to meet most of these goals but have found I have been unable to encourage all teachers with their wiki development.** ||
 * **__Dec 2014 Long term goal analysis__**
 * I am developing my teaching skills all the time. This is a continual process . Through PLD I have made connections and obtained new ideas to incorporate in my teaching eg Coding with young children. I am always on the look out for new ideas and approaches to incorporate into my teaching. This year I used some of Rich Allen’s ideas for a PDL session in the holidays, in my Reading and Maths. I use many ideas and resources shared on Twitter. For example I now connect with Dave Burgess author of ‘Teach like a Pirate.’ I read the book and have incorporated some of his fabulous ideas, especially in my writing programme, which have been a huge success. Previous reluctant writers are now keen to write. I am now reading Don Wettrick’s book ‘Pure Genius” ,about innovation in teaching and in classrooms. (30/11/14)** ||
