=June 2011= It was fantastic to see everyone last week and what a great session here in Hawkes Bay. We trust that the PRT2s are feeling a lot more relaxed now that you have thought through how you might organise your evidence portfolio. Here are all the resources we used in the meeting - who knows, an adaption of some may make great classroom activities. Here is the handout about how to use the evidence you have and match to a range of RTCs: This is a chapter from Marie Camerson's book that is addressed specifically to PRTs - a good read! May PRT Network Cluster - 2009

This resource is really useful for helping to establish relationships and getting people to mix, especially when you start with a new class. The phrases and graphics are easy to change.
The following sheets are taken from the Massey PRT handbook and are useful to look though with a highlighter to identify areas where you may like to focus some of your energy in the next 6 months. For those who are PRT2, just a reminder that there is only 6mths for collection of evidence to support each of the Satisfactory Teacher Dimensions. It would be worth a check to ensure all areas have been covered. If there are gaps, now is the time to be having conversations with your PRTC and Mentor to address these. The 'Toward Full Registration' kit in your school (probably held by the PRTC) is a useful guide for this purpose.

The next two documents were given out as a possible way of getting professional development via observations of other teachers. In one school all the PRTs are doing 4min walk-throughs together in a planned way through a series of classrooms and then sitting together as a professional learning group to discuss what they saw.

__Hot Survival Tips__ - a page has been created for PRTs to share some 'lightbulb' moments for survival - please add some 'epiphany' moments of your own! Here's the link: Hot Survival Tips page

__**Lessons put on cellphones**__ Nathan Kerr from Onehunga High School - his class showed him how to use the SD cards in their phones for a whole year's lessons! He spent $10 on an adapter to download from his computer to their phones. Now they learn and critique each other's learning - and all in their own time!

Here is the excellent Hastings Boys High School Quality Teacher Development Programme Logbook that Byron shared with us yesterday. I have NOT repeated some of the pages where there were 2 or 3 of the same. (Nicki) This article is from Tools for Teaching by Barbara Goss Davis. Although it is a bit late for the very start of the year,some of her ideas are very useful indeed.
