  1. Gippsland Teaching and Learning Coach Forums Zone Of Proximal Development and its application in the area of Decimal and Fractional Numbers Jane Gray, Cathy Curwood and Jenny Smethurst

  2. Learning Intentions: To provide a model for Lead Learners as active participants in the learning process. Success Criteria: Applying it in our work environment

  3. Setting the Scene For Lead Learners /TALC forums: How Do We Do This? Oh My God!!!!!!

  4. Zone of Proximal Development Vygotsky’s Key ideas: Learning and development cannot be separated Learning occurs in social contexts Learning is driven by language There is a zone of proximal development

  5. ‘When students are effectively supported in their learning, they are operating within their “zone of proximal development’. That is ‘the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem-solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem-solving under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers.’ (Vygotsky 1978)

  6. Lead Learners are prepared to : Take risks Try new things When they get stuck, look for alternative solutions in a strategic way Actively participate in the learning process Take responsibility, use their initiative Use what they know to solve their problems Link their learning – make connections from the known to the unknown Reflect Discuss Wonder Act upon constructive feedback Team Approach Have a laugh

  7. Zone of Proximal Development Assessment Formative v’s Summative FOR How to establish the Zone for our students AS To give feedback Monitoring progress through the Zone OF Environment e.g. Planning Differentiated Curriculum etc Conditions for Learning e.g. E5

  8. Zone of Proximal Development Assessment FOR Learning Strategies/Tools:Glasson - reflection language student engagement Other : e.g. Fractions & Decimals Interview Rich Assessment Tasks Early Years Numeracy Interview SNMY/LAF Planning: Lessons Analysis - Glasson Overviews Continuums Indicators for Progress

  9. Activity: The Assessment FOR Learning Strategies Based on Black and Wiliam 1998a, 1999 Two word reflection From: Glasson, T., Improving Student Achievement: A Practical Guide To Assessment For Learning, Curriculum Corporation, Melbourne 2009 ISBN 978 1 74200 307 8 page 6)

Mathematics Assessment for Learning: Rich Tasks & Work Samples (Junior Primary to Junior Secondary) Mathematics Teaching and Learning Centre, Australian Catholic University, Melbourne ISBN 0-9756718-5-5 page 77

  11. Activity: Analysis/Planning for Assessment FOR Learning Table Feedback: Feedback via Rubric

  12. Planning Tools: Developmental Overviews Developmental Continuum Indicators of Progress Explore……….. Activity Time: Go back to the Activity Analysis/Planning Tables and plot where you feel this activity could be placed on the Fractions and Decimals Continuum

  13. Where To Now?????? Lunch time …………………..

  14. Reading Time: Diane Siemon Building Fraction Knowledge and Confidence Everyone receives a Building Block from Di’s article. Please plot this next to the Fraction Progression Point Discuss

  15. Tools….. Assessment FOR Learning Support Activities Maths On Line Interview “The” Indicators of Progress Group Plotting Activity: SNMY/LAF Fractions and Decimals On Line Interview Classroom Activities Rich Assessment Tasks Book
