B4 Whakamana - Empowering learners to reach their highest potential

I demonstrate Whakamana in many different ways, this example is where we have used a knowledge maths assessment to check what gaps students have. After the assessment has been marked my myself, I gave it back to the students to analyse and discuss. They were then expected to choose at least two areas that they wanted to focus on.

The student's maths knowledge assessment.

After choosing their areas to focus their learning on they posted their goals online on their learning blog to make them visible. Students were then able to attend workshops that I offered in class to focus on this goal with a small group of students who had similar goals.

The students post their goals online to make them visible. 

An example of how I plan to analyse the maths knowledge test then offer student driven workshops. 

This learning is driven by the students because they analyse their own assessment and then choose what is important to them for their goals.  They are empowered to improve and because the goals are attainable they know they can strive to achieve.
