St. Francis of AssisiTLLP 2013-2014A Collaborative Journey into Team Planning and Pedagogical Documentation
How it all began…
Why team planning? Our plan took into account what
we have learned about in the K-2 Inquiry and EPCI over the past few years
Incorporate the use of Mentor Texts
Incorporate Higher Order Thinking
Investigate pedagogical documentation
Engage in collaborative assessment

Capturing Student LearningWrite down answers given on chart paper during class discussionsWrite anecdotal notes while the students are discussing possible answers with their Accountable Talk PartnersRecord the conversations with an iPad, video camera, audio recorder.ConferencingPhoto BoothUse the information gathered in a writing task after a group conversation.
Why higher- order thinking?
Higher –order thinking skills involve the learning of complex judgmental skills such as critic and problem solving. According to Bloom’s Taxonomy, analyzing, evaluating, and creating are the most complex kinds of thought. These three more complex kinds of thought are called higher-order thinking.
BLOOM’S TAXONOMY
Bloom’s Taxonomy is a widely accepted psychological theory that categorizes different kinds of learning in ascending order from least to most complex.
Pedagogical Documentation Our Set Up…- Each Kindergarten Classroom has:- 2 64 GB iPads (One for the teacher and one for the ECE)- 5 iPad Minis - 1 Mac Book Pro- 55” Flatscreen Smart TV- TV* Also our French teacher and Music Specialist have a 64 GB iPad to document learning
Our Learning to Date Involvement Creation of Student iPortfolios Photo Streaming - to Mac Book iPhoto - Face Recognition Photo Booth - used to capture learning such as, a
reading conference, PM Benchmarking Adding Audio Files to Photos Flagging Files to indicate that reteaching is required Air dropping with TV onto flatscreen TV to
highlight the student’s thinking and learning. This technology can easily be used throughout the day for consolidation
How is our project different? Our students are going to become part of
documenting their own learning. With explicit teaching and modeling our students
will learn how to capture their work using the mini iPads.
Our hope is that our youngest learners will be able to: take photos of their work, interview a friend, explain their creation or work in a video clip so that it can then be saved to their iPortfolio.
At the end of the year, we intend to take key pieces from each child’s iPortfolio and add them into their ePortfolio which can then move with the child to their new class or new school if he or she moves or is posted somewhere in Ontario.
A few weeks in… and 10 months to go…
