These photos show parents and students of 6SS looking at the students’ cards on the Gradual Release of Responsibility and discussing whether or not they are in the right place on the continuum. They also show parents and students collaborating to write a comment on the blog posting below, giving details of their conversations and telling us what their goals are for the immediate future.

Here’s a nice photo of the parents enjoying the relaxing part of the morning, organized by these students:

Aayush, Paula, Paul, Anirudh, Odette, Ken, Gabi, May, Pimboon, Am and Samantha. Well done to them!!!

New Goals for Gradual Release of Responsibility

With your parents, spend some time looking at the Gradual Release of Responsibility diagram outside the classroom:

• Explain how the diagram works
• Share your cards with them by taking them off one-by-one and finding somewhere to talk about each one
• Find out if they think your cards are in the right place on the GRR
• Discuss how you can work together with your parents to progress
• Decide on one or two goals for the next couple of weeks
• Make a comment to tell us your goals and a bit of information about the conversations you had
  

Remember, make your goals:

Sustainable (you will carry on doing it)

Manageable (it is not too much to take on)

Achievable (you can achieve success with it)

Realistic (it is appropriate for you)

Timely (now is the perfect time to work on this goal)

Bossiness vs. Leadership

What is the difference between being bossy and being a leader?

Make a comment to explain your ideas.

6GD have been blogging about this question too, have a look: http://blogs.nist.ac.th/6gd/2010/09/17/leadership-verses-bossiness/#comment-900
