Ground Rules photo -
Important to agree as a staff about what these should be and how we agree to work as a staff and within classrooms right across the school.
Needs to build norms as teachers around how we work with each other. With the use of video to record professional practice, we need to build parameters which govern how we work eg ... coaching conversations etc etc
The vulnerability of teachers in this area needs to be considered.
The reason for the nervousness around video has come from traditional lesson observations associated with appraisal and performance . The actual purpose is about improving outcomes and that camera is focussed on the learners and therefore the learning.
Videoing conversations between students - You get your best information when you as the teacher are removed from the group.
What can you see photo

Groups summary:
- Scaffold would have helped child 2 structure conversation.
- Body language can be analysed using video.
The role of video (SWivl, Iris etc) can be used to record evidence but also to set goals around what they can do better.
Can use video to know the impact that we are having.
Over a few weeks we can capture the way groups speak to one another and look at ways to improve.
The teachers role in process.
Accountable talk - Participants place markers on the discourse prompts as they go.
What can we do to develop the oracy of our learners at Makauri?
