Welcome

Dear Sixth Class Student,

My Learner ID is about you. My Learner ID invites you to tell everyone about you: your strengths, your world, your wishes and dreams, what you like about school and how you like to learn. My Learner ID helps you to think about how you grow as a learner and gives you ideas about how to improve your learning. My Learner ID invites you to use Opportunities to Respond (OTRs) in your learning. Your teacher will guide you on when, where and how to use the OTR materials. You will also explore, design and develop your own Rubrics which will help you to evaluate and improve your learning. At the end of the year, you will know more about how you learn best and so will those who work with you.

Have fun and enjoy! Suzanne

Do I ... Spend time working out a plan before I begin a task? Work out a rough time schedule? Know where to start?

Ask myself what I already know? Break down the work into sections and complete one-by-one? Summarise the information in my own words rather than just copying down everything? Stop at certain points and check the work I’ve done? Work for some time and then take a break? Resist having a drink or snack until I’ve completed some of my work? Move on to another task if I get stuck? Ask for help if I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to do something two or three times?
