Sharing your child's learning journey...

The Ministry of Education have seven key principles that guide effective reporting and information sharing:

1. Ako (describes the teaching and learning relationship)
2. Focus and coverage (of learning across the curriculum)
3. Foundations for learning (progress and achievement in literacy, numeracy, key competencies and ‘learning-to-learn’ skills)
4. Student responsibility (to understand what they have learnt and what they need to focus on next)
5. Motivation (to understand and be involved in their own learning)
6. Technologies (to see the learning process and progress in real time)
7. Checking in with parents (so parents can understand where their child's learning is at and engage in supporting and encouraging them)

To enable this at our school we have chosen to implement the Seesaw Journal Learning App. This gives you

• The mobile ability to see their learning in real time.
• Your child as much ownership of their learning journey and the process that this examples as their teacher.
• The ability to interact and reply to comments made by your child and your child's teacher, in real time, around their learning.

We're excited about how this allows us (your child and the teacher) to connect you with their progress and achievement across the curriculum. Seesaw is one example of how we are attempting to give you a real look into the learning that happens everyday for your child.
