Using part-whole analysis HOT SOLO maps, lesson plans and self assessment

media type="custom" key="23434376" Today's curriculum meeting focused on blending student learning with our school targets: respect, SOLO Taxonomy and digital citizenship/elearning. We used Netsafe's publication 'Digital Citizenship in New Zealand Schools' to help define what citizenship is. We discussed how we can align digital citizenship with our school values: **Respect, Responsibility and Pride**. Then we practiced completing a part-whole analysis map with the whole "What makes a digital citizen?"
 * Curriculum Meeting Discussion **

=PLD Upper Moutere 2013 Session 2 = Second session using part-whole analysis HOT SOLO maps, lesson plans and self assessment

media type="custom" key="23434358"  A fantastic discussion amongst staff about what went well, what didn't and what they would do differently next time after their first use of a part-whole analysis map. Key points from our discussion were:
 * Curriculum Meeting Discussion **
 * Students need to immersed  in the subject before a part-whole analysis map (completing define and describe maps first).
 * Completing the define and describe maps first can be termed as 'front loading' or more specifically the GET-IT stage of our learning process.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Students need to explore multistructural maps & relational maps to then enable extended abstract thinking.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.5;">Part-whole analysis maps are aimed at relational thinking - using these maps students are connecting their ideas. When using these maps students are at the USE-IT stage of our learning process.
