MIT2020 - Google Meet (May 25th) - Getting back on track!

Today another Google Meet with the MIT2020 mentors and crew- a chance to check in and see how everyone is after lockdown and how our projects are tracking.

We are all at very different stages with our projects - some progress, some success and some stuckness. Despite my recent revelations, I am definitely feeling firmly in the 'stuck' camp and took advantage of the opportunity to meet one on one with Matt. 

Exploring how to support Year 8 students to confidently manage the transition from the primary to secondary school learning environment is a too broad and was causing me a degree of overwhelm! Matt  advised me to narrow the scope of my project to just one aspect of self-management skills and Matt also suggested to make it practical for the students by linking it to a single even in their lives  e.g. the annual Year 8 Graduation in Term 4.

Taking has advice on board, my next steps are to:

  • Research the literature on self-management skill sets (e.g time management and organisation skills)
  • Link the Year 8s self-management skills to their preparation for the upcoming Year 8 Camp (scheduled for the start of Term 3).
