As part of my role as DP and junior syndicate team leader, I facilitate the meetings and create the agenda and minutes for the team. My focus is to move away from admin and 'stuff', to teaching and learning and things that support effective teaching and learning programmes.
Here is an example of my syndicate minutes from Term 2, 2016

Mike share about oral language needs of target students- ideas collaborated
with Team A include hearing sound focus, talking in sentences, slowing down
speech, modelling adult language and consulting with parents about this.

From inquiry
meeting- Tui and Kotare intend to run an evening for parents on how to read
at home with their child, aim for the end of term 2- Jo and Debbie indicated
they would like to take part and week 8 Tuesday the 21st has been penciled in. (Catherine and Justin still to be filled in with this)

Everyone liked
Debbie’s ‘Laser eyes’ strategy for encouraging active listening.

Matters
arising (from last meeting or Staff meeting)
|
·
As discussed
teachers are to get and return all sports gear from the PE shed, also having
one student per class to be in charge of retrieving gear left in the
playground.
·
Ensure the
relievers have a class list on hand (hard copy). Team A will have a coloured
paper copy pinned in an obvious place for the reliever.
·
For our
Matariki trips the office will need details of the transport list etc- there
is a spare seat donated by Plunket in Trish’s room. More info is needed about
the details of the museum visit.
·
No reading or
spelling ages to be mentioned in reports, just how they are tracking in terms
of curriculum levels.
·
Also ensure we
all have the students ages sorted to comment at the correct level, e.g.
working at, on track to be working at etc
|
Planning,
Inquiry & Curriculum
|
·
Writing
moderation.- Not done as two staff were away but we will do this next week on
Tuesday.
Each
staff member to bring 3 students’ writing books to the meeting- one low
ability, middle and high ability to student.
Also
literacy progressions, writing matrix, and/or curriculum to help level the
students moving into reports.
·
Science- what
has everyone been doing lately? Any feedback on the rubric use/ strengths/
weaknesses? The team felt the Life bus sessions ate into the science last
week so everyone has been incorporating the science into other curriculums
e.g. observations as a reading activity, science experiments for writing. The
rubrics will be used for self-assessment in some classes.
|
Students
of concern
Behaviour/
learning

·
Kourosh in
Kotare- can be a wanderer. If you see him can you engage in him and send him
on his way- particularly during class and the end of break times. Teachers
have noticed him already and had conversations, Jo will inform a couple of her
students to help move him back to class if need be.
·
Team A teachers

Kowan and Rory
mentioned for behaviour but are being monitored by their teachers and well
sorted.
