25 August, Nuts and Bolts meeting notes

Thank you for taking time on Tuesday morning to briefly delve into supervision perceptions and practices. Also, a big thank you to Karin for the Smart Start of the morning.

You can find the slide show of the morning here.
Below you can see the results of the quick assessment for learning activity at the very end.
We can see that we are sharing perceptions and practices in many areas. We seem to be very clear on positive language and inclusive play which means that recess is an important learning opportunity for all students. The other observation is that we have enough of uncertainty for further clarification of some perceptions and practices. In the near future, Heikki will draft a document that will attempt to address the issues for your feedback and perusal.
