1. Student led outcomes

2. What are they? How do teachers manage them? How do my students and I achieve them?

3. What is a student led outcome? A student decided outcome that meets a brief A one of a kind outcome Created by an individual or a group of students What is a teacher led outcome? A teacher decided outcome All student’s create the same outcome Difference in how students decorate their outcome

4. What is a student led outcome? A teacher led outcome A student led outcome

5. Ministry of Education guidance ‘Technological literacy The aim of technology teaching and learning is for students to develop “a broad technological literacy”. The term literacy implies a level of skills, knowledge, and understanding that collectively add up to fluency and a well-founded confidence.technological literacy Technologically literate young people: have a broad understanding of how and why things work understand how technological products and technological systems are developedtechnological productstechnological systems can critically evaluate technological developments and trends can design and evaluate their own solutions in response to needs and opportunities.’ http://technology.tki.org.nz/Technology-in-the-NZC/What-is-technology-in-the-NZC

6. Why? Differentiation More rewarding More challenging Widens teaching opportunities Higher student ownership Higher motivation

7. What is a student led outcome? A teacher led outcome A student led outcome 1.Discuss the descriptions. 2.Where do they sit on the continuum? 3.Share examples from your classroom 4.Where do they sit on the continuum?

8. How do teachers manage student led outcomes? It starts with teacher expectations The context matters Grouping Teach Technological modelling & Planning for practice Regular student conferencing Scaffold student planning Teach skills in a different way

9. It starts with teacher expectations… “Adaptation and innovation are at the heart of Technological Practice” NZC, 2007 Committed to student led outcomes. A classroom that supports innovation, mistakes and problem-solving. Accept the unknown. Less teacher control.

10. The context matters Brief / Problem / Opportunity / Issue / Scenario / Situation / Need Broad enough to encourage a range of outcomes Narrow enough to be manageable BUT… with a clear focus "Your class is making a trip to the snow and you need waterproof storage for something important to you" "ICT is a big part of our lives – design and construct a holder for a piece of ICT Technology that can sit on your bedside table"

11. Grouping Group first… Student led outcomes can be done in groups or pairs Group later… Group students after they have decided their outcome based on similar aspects of what's ahead of them

12. Teach Technological modelling & Planning for practice Lots of Technological modelling helps teachers and students see what is possible and what is not possible. Sketching, mock-ups, templates, trials, tests Lots of Planning for practice helps teachers and students keep track of progress, resources and next steps Gantt charts, review points, resource lists, reflections

13. Regular student conferencing Meet with students regularly Where are they up to? Problems they are having? Skills that need teaching?

14. Scaffold student planning Student planning templates or booklets help… -Teachers guide student planning towards what is most important -Students and teachers keep track of progress BUT Student planning templates or booklets can limit student ideas and stop them from designing their own planning formats. Try giving students planning expectations instead

15. Teach skills in a different way Accept that not all skills and equipment will be taught Narrower skill set but a deeper and more authentic skill set Train students as “experts” to teach others Having skills session in-between initial concepts and final designs helps students decide Students identify the skills they will need, skills they already have and what they need to learn

16. What next for me and my students?

17. How do my students and I achieve student led outcomes?

18. How do others achieve it? Read the TKI Technology Online resource Identify and discuss… What did the teacher do to encourage and scaffold student led outcomes? What did the student(s) do to help them achieve a student led outcome?

19. How do we achieve it? Discuss what you each do in your classrooms Identify and discuss… What does the teacher do to encourage and scaffold student led outcomes? What do the student(s) do to help them achieve a student led outcome?

20. What next for me and my students?
