  Narrative Assessments

Learning Coaches write Learning Stories of learners when they are learning to capture them collaborating, being curious, connecting and growing capabilities.  This is assessment AS learning! A min of 12 per learner per year- and the parents & learners engage with these in the learners’ blog.

Our narratives support our school vision and vision principles.  Aspirationally, they foster a partnership with families and capture progress while highlighting relationships to identify next steps for learning.  The best part? Accessible to all.

We use google docs, Comic Life, EDPuzzle etc. and Blogger which is linked from their Learning Pathway via their blog.  

Look for the learners who are really engaged in learning, take photos, analyse what kind of learning is going on, what the learner is really interested, recognise their interest and respond it by giving them opportunities and possibilities for them to develop their skills.







Utopic iExperiences



How do LCs collaborate to make the learners learning a bit deeper.  What do we do? Maybe end of the day just a little conversation about what we noticed, recognise and respond the following days.

Collaborative Spiral of Inquiry     -  Survey for LCs please  Results  EOD (Safe to Fail Probes and iExperience Experiments- How to strive for Utopic iExperiences)
1. Scanning What’s going on for our learners? How do we know?	2. Focussing What’s going to give us the biggest impact? Where will our energies be best focussed?	3. Developing a Hunch What do we wonder?  What’s leading to the ‘situation’? What are our assumptions about what is contributing to the situation? How Might We leverage educator collaboration in LH Teams in order to provide utopic iExperiences for our learners? We wonder if …to... will ….?
6. Checking Have we made enough difference?  What’s going on for our learners?  How do we know?			4. Learning What do we need to learn? What research or theory is informing our learning? How will we design new learning? Why is an approach or principle important?  How can this learning be collaborative?
	5. Taking Action What did we do differently? What opportunities are there for dialogue, observation and reflection with others? What’s going on for our learners?  How and when can we share our learning?

Managing Minor Problems
How to differentiate major and minor incidents



Find out the reasons behind the behaviour.
Calm-Trigger-Agitation-peak-De-escalation-Recovery.
We often find out the problem when there was in a peak situation. It's always good to find the reasons behind it by talking to both the learners and help them to solve their problem. Sometimes learners don't know how to solve the problem but as a learning coach, I can have a little chat with them, make them feel ok, then help them to solve their problem by asking more questions, help them with proper words to talk in that situation.
