#4. Describe the tools/measures/approaches you plan to use to get a more detailed and accurate profile of students’ learning in relation to that challenge. Justify why you chose these approaches and tools.
So since attending EdTech I had so many amazing takeaways and it really did spark a lot of my  adjustments to my outcome. I have almost finished a prototype that I will be trialing in week 2 of Term Three that brings together all of the different elements I have been researching in my CoL inquiry as well as exploring in my lessons. The problem I have been working on since the start of the year is:
​                   'A number of our learners do not make National Expected Shift in Literacy'

This is the learner portal starting point. I have been keeping many things in mind from my learning as I have been going on the journey - Eg what takeaways can I take from reciprocal reading strategies that allow learners to develop ownership and agency over their learning? I have also been thinking about my Digital Fluency immersion where we were told to try to limit the site to three clicks before the learner has to take action.

A big noticing I have got from my inquiry and from our CoL meetings has been - how can we make more shift in all three areas Reading, Writing and Maths. So although I am starting with reading elements I have been building an awareness in the learners as well as myself to be connections between reading comprehension and Maths word problems. What strategies work in both?? And by colour coding the steps and intentions I intend on using this page to get the learners more aware of their strengths as well as growing their ownership over their next steps.

The final part of my reflection links again back to my DFI course where we were looking at multimodal engagement for the learners and so I have initially got tasks on the learners page where they can develop the different intentions in a way they feel suits them best - this is only a start and I hope as I implement this I will see a growth in the elements available through student voice. 
BIG THOUGHT AND NEXT STEP!!!!
A big part of my site will be the teacher/adult/parent portal where I will need to create expectations and set up videos required for this site to work as it is really important to implement structures and systems to help the learners take ownership of this site. Excited to see where it goes!!!

My mind is buzzing just reading your blog Naomi and I know you will have been blown away by the stimulating time at the Summit. In addition you have Singapore to look forward to so your intervention/tool/idea will be well in hand by then. How do you feel you are getting to grips with your challenge and what do you still have to do? How long is a piece of string? There are so many things going on for you Naomi you may have to do a bit of 'brain' tidying and coherent processing. Love working with you and your great ideas.

    Although we do not know what the future holds I feel we have to attempt to understand what qualities and skills will be needed/desired to be successful adults: creative, risk takers who can self regulate and adapt to a changing environment (with confidence or resilience?).  - That's my thoughts anyways. Helping children to accept and understand what  ‘comfortable with being uncomfortable so you are prepared for anything’ means. 

    ​ This inquiry is focussed on determining which teaching practices and scaffolds accelerate a learner's journey from being highly scaffolded to intrinsically motivated to manage and direct their own learning.
