Notes | Tell me about your class: Year 5,6 mostly girls 10,11 years old
Typical day involves managing class workload, assessment, planning Last thing they did was a project about cultural inclusion - Primary problem with this was that it was really vague, and they don’t know what they want - goals from ERO
Digital passport - mindlab Mindlab is qualifying teachers in digital technologies All the teachers at good shepherd have done the mindlab course Primarily watching videos and asking quiz at the end
Tell me about the onboarding process for guests / volunteers
For guest speakers, Usually just send an email to admin / principal Last thing they did this for was a project on renewable energy, they had the person that installed their school solar system explain how it worked, and how electricity works
Kids currently learn computational thinking on paper, already learning what algorithms are
Ministry says you have these objectives but doesn’t say how to achieve them School curriculum For juniors there’s a year 1-3 program but how to do them
Other Notes: Someone to basically tell us what they need to know and how to space it out - only limited time to teach it and it’s crammed along subject Only one hour a week for tech Kids are more like blank slates at this stage Hardest part is the introduction Preparing them for high school Had to be in context with whatever their teaching atm Hands on activities when speakers visit From year 5, to six they jumped from scratch to HTML and css You don’t have to plan when someone visits your class No lesson plan needed Staff room visits They have this hideous computer program to load information in - etap - one and a half hour staff meeting A lot of time teachers aren’t given enough material They aren’t given “here is all you need for the subject” The ideal course package Here is all the equipment you need Composting is easy to get resources Hard to get electronics, magnets, hard to get equipment High schools and intermediates get resources but primaries don’t Lacking certifications as well Can’t get microscopes Before chrome books some of the systems were 6+ years old IT guy only comes in once a week but the type of IT support schools can afford is terrible Lesson plan Finishing growth mindset SunSmart, drowning Science focus once a term Draw an inspiration phrase Informational reports and writing RE, religious education is hard to tie into tech Financial focus next term with maths Teachers find it hard to teach things that they can’t see the usefulness or utility in If they aren’t confident in something they either avoid it or bring someone else in to do it Contacting schools directly Teachers hate LinkedIn - can’t find jobs that way Jobs legally have to be in the education gazette

Notes | Focused around concept of impact projects that students do
6 month projects that extend up to 2 years max - 5 hours a week Teachers on code of conduct? Working with them as students go into internships Onus on students managing that relationship? As we roll out student accounts? Students creating account? CC vly in to keep track of comms? Investigate later Students running 200 projects a year |
Questions / Followup actions | How do we confirm if event took place? Haven't really sussed this out yet Need to discern optimal level of oversight Checkbox mechanism? Has this student request met X criteria?
Atm conclusion is that students can submit a request, but teacher has to review

Vetting:
Visitors working in school MUST have vetting
They dont need H&S as they do it when signing in
For police vetting they need to see verification with referee number
But we can set up an MOU that puts the responsibility of vetting on voluntarily Premeeting
Capture feedback Like Airbnb, Mutual reviews, feedback on how they could do better Option to share language for kids
Language assets target at teachers level in curriculum Voluntarily knowing what school resources are available
