Final Blog Post - MIT 2019

This year has been one of many ups and downs with trying to decide what is the best way to go about my inquiry and also the best way to create a tool for my learners. My tool is now officially complete and ready to use. All of the activities are now available to be used in the classroom. The link to my site is here. Please feel free to use this in your own reading program, you can either link the site directly from your own page or I am able to send you a copy of the site which you can use and modify how you would like. 

Success?

Looking at my class data I can see that my target learners for this inquiry have all made at least 6 months progress with some making as much as 1.5 years. My learners have really taken on this challenge this year and have focused hard in their reading which can be seen in their results. I am so incredibly proud of each and everyone of my learners. 

Where to next?

1. I am still having a slight problem with getting my learners recorded readings to work on the site so unfortunately this is unavailable at this point in time but I have linked each of my learners blogs to their names and the recordings can be reached from there. I am going to work on making sure that these are accessible in the new year.
2. Continuing to use this in my class for next year as well as sharing it with others in my team. I will continue to monitor these results next year. I would also like to continue to add activities to the site as they are created as this will add to the resource bank. 

Looking ahead to 2020:

Next year I would like to look at how I can implement something similar to this in my writing program. I would like to see how I can help my learners to make significant shift in their writing as well as their reading. 

Thank-you:

I would like to say a huge thank-you for the opportunity to be apart of the MIT19 team. I have learnt so much over this year and I think that it has strengthened my knowledge as well as helped me better my teaching practice. It has been an invaluable learning experience and I am extremely grateful for this opportunity.
