Hypothesizing and Reflecting

 Hypothesizing and Reflecting is where we create our inquiry question. It is important to create this using what your students have shown you and what you have reflected on yourself about your practice.

Once you have created your inquiry question it is important that you hypothesize what the answer/findings might be and what you think will happen.

My questions that somehow I need to blend/merge into one big question...


In what ways will  trauma informed practices  support the children in my class and lessen the incidents of big emotional responses by meeting their needs from a neurological perspective each day.


What are these trauma informed practices? How will I source them?


When changing behaviours what improved academic outcomes would I expect?


How will I measure improvement? How will I measure changes and growth?


How can make this work for children who are 5 and 6?

Evaluate impact and re-evaluate plan

  Evaluate impact and re-evaluate plan Evaluating the impact of your Inquiry is important as you look deeply at what you did, why and how you changed your practice to meet the needs of the tamariki and to grow yourself. Are there sections that you need to revisit and find out more information from? Do your students hold the keys to unlocking this? Did the plan go as anticipated? If not, why not and what did you do? If so what could have you done better? This section is not about the success of your inquiry, but the finer details that made the plan work or not work, and how this changed aspects of your practice. This PGC was/is super tricky. It is very hard to know exactly what is happening in the lives of these children. I don't and won't ever know what life is like for them. Some children and whanau share some information and it feels like we are working together for better outcomes. ACE are out of my control but who I am and my response to them isn't. I will keep learnin...

Carrot and stick rewards systems and ACE

 I have been doing a number of readings recently that discuss the traditional behaviourist approach to classroom rewards and consequences. This is something I really want to explore more with a trauma informed/aware lens. It appears that the reseach points away from sticker charts in their many manifestations and moves towards relationships and following a neuorosequential model to support children who have faced/are facing Adverse Childhood Experiences.  My own experinces over the years certainly support this but especially in 2023. The children I see trying to navigate ACEs do not respond to 'sticker charts'  in a way that would modify their 'undesirable' behaviours. What has been working is relationships. This is one recent post from a Facebook page I follow. Food for thought and definately something that many people find very hard to move away from. Our whole country follows this approach eg prison. The Occuplaytional Therapist o t s S o d n e r p a h u 1 0 h t 5 f ...
