  1. Understanding NCEA All you need to know to pass NCEA at an Excellence level Workshop 2

  2. Feedback from first workshop Please complete the feedback form and hand it in… When you’ve finished have a go at the warm up task on the front page of your booklet…

  3. Warm up task… • How many words did you think of that start with “Ex”? • There were 1475 possibilities in English … • How many words did you think of that end with “ce”? • There were 1006 possibilities in English …

  4. Paving a smooth road to gaining YOURExcellence. Key tips and tricks

  5. Keep track of your credits! Knowing what you’ve got and what you need saves you a lot of energy better spent NOT stressing. Refer to a credit chart or “brick wall”

  6. Ask Questions If you don’t get something or want confirmation that you’re on the right track JUST ASK, teachers are normally more than happy to help, plus it shows how you can take control of your own learning 

  7. Manage your time wisely Time management is key to achieving excellence in all subjects. Remember: every subject is equal in importance – all contribute to excellence. Homework timetables are SUPER helpful.

  8. Balance work and play Everybody needs to take out time to relax! Taking time out ensures you won’t burn out. Try to reward yourself fairly for doing hard work.

  9. Homework and Tutorials Make the most of every opportunity! I know its cheesy but, practice really DOES make perfect. The more practice you do outside of class, the easier understanding different concepts will be.

  10. Use reassessment opportunities Some subjects will offer you a Further Assessment Opportunity (FAO). Use this opportunity to try and improve your A or M grade to an E! FAOs are listed on your Assessment Statements.

  11. What excellence students do Brainstorm with those around you what students who get excellence do (and maybe what they don’t do…)

  12. Habits of Mind These are 16 habits of successful learners that describe what intelligent people do when confronted with problems that do not have obvious solutions or answers. They were derived by Art Costa and Bena Kallick and are a very useful description of what students aiming for excellence should be using and developing as they learn. Did you have any on your list on page 2?

  13. Which ones (if any?) did you have in your brainstorm??

  14. Self Review • Assess yourself against each of the 16 Habits of Mind on the questionnaires that follow. They have been organised into the following sub categories: • Self Management • Critical Thinking • Creative Thinking • Relating to Others • After you have completed each page write one or two goals for that sub category in the space on Page 8. • Learning Strategy: Highlight any words you don’t understand – making learning these a goal!

  15. Where to from here… • Homework • Keep track of your excellence credits as you gain them • Track your progress on the goals you have set today • Next session • Thursday 6th June (Week 5, Term 2)
