Introducing my inquiry group for 2019

The group that I am building my inquiry around are my year 9 social studies class.  There 21 students in the class,  8 female and 11 males.  There are 6 Maori students, 5 female and 1 male.

I want to look at their reading scores from 2018, to see how they scored before they arrived to Tamaki.  Then I can think about ways to address the learning abilities of the students in the class.

I have included a breakdown in ethnicity as I am exploring cultural visibility and responsive practice and it is good to know what ethnic groups my kids below to.  I am hoping to build learning profiles of my students through individual meetings once their 2019 easttle writing and PAT reading results are available.  We will set goals and develop a plan of learning for the year.  Hopefully this will kick start their thinking into success in social studies this year.
