Vardon and Pukete Teachers Discuss.... Written Language

It was a good experience meeting up with Pukete teachers to discuss written language. Our group found we were pretty much on the same page for leveling the children against the standards, although I felt we may use our OTJ's more when coming to this process. I think we have a good system that we use with our writing reseouces for the children to use indepently and our goal tick chart so the children know where they are at and what where to next in their writting. This gives the children more ownership of their writing.
It would be good to do another follow up of written language and discuss more indeepth what a writting seesion looks like at each school, motivation tools, and other writing resouces in ganeral.
