Concepts in the Curriculum
• The Achievement Objectives are conceptual understandings
• The concepts are integrated within the AOs
• Concepts are the ‘big ideas’
• Four conceptual strands

Building Conceptual UnderstandingsStudent ability to:
1. List, sort, label and define concepts
2. Identify further examples and non-examples
3. Demonstrate connections between multiple concepts
4. Transfer conceptual understanding to previously unseen/unknown
5. Taking action/making decisions examples based on new knowledge and understandings
6. Identifying a range of ways in which the concept may be interpreted

STUDENT 1
Burma is a country that struggles to get human rights. Basic human rights such as freedom of speech or religion and the right to have a fair trial are frequently breeched. Burma is governed by a military junta. This regime has been reluctant to have democratic elections.
One person who is famous from Burma is Aung San Suu Kyi. She has worked to get human rights and democracy in the country but was put under house arrest for 15 years since 1989. She received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. She has had a lot of attention from global media and this helped to put pressure on the military to have more fair elections. She has received many prizes for her fight for human rights. Finally in May, 2012, she was elected to Parliament. She hopes to run for President in 2015.

STUDENT 2Human rights are standards or dignities which are afforded to all human beings. While the exact nature of which human rights should be for all people is disputed, most people agree that the right to dignity, freedom and equal rights should be given to everyone in the world. This standard has been reinforced by documents such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was signed in 1948 stating 30 Articles which name and protect human rights. This helps to monitor the state of human rights in all countries. One country that human rights organisations regard to have wide spread human rights violations is Burma. Burma is governed by a military regime that has restricted democratic elections and has removed opposition to its regime, by imprisoning people - such as Aung San Suu Kyi. The human rights of minority groups in Burma are also of concern. Groups such as the Rohingya, a minority Muslim group, have had their citizenship removed (since 1982) and as many as 90 000 Rohingya have been displaced from Western Burma. Their status without citizenship in Burma means they can no longer travel without official permission, they cannot own land, and they have to sign a commitment that they will not have more than 2 children. These are basic human rights which they now no longer have, but which we have in NZ. The UN General Assembly passed a resolution this month expressing their concern at the human rights violations against the Rohingya in Burma. They have lobbied the Burmese government to address this and release political prisoners, but at this stage, the Burmese government does not recognise the Rohingya as citizens.

Progression of student learning and
conceptual understandings
What to consider…
Conceptual understandings?Achievement Objective/s?
Social Inquiry process – aspects?Perspectives?
Values?

To develop conceptual understandings:
Social Inquiry
Asking questionsFinding information from a
range of sourcesExploring values & perspectives
Considering responses and decisions(social action)
Reflecting and evaluating

The importance of formative assessment
Comes from the Latin verb ‘assidere’ meaning ‘to sit with’.
In assessment, one should sit with the learner.
This implies it is something we do
with and for students and
not to students (Green, 1998)

Improving learning through assessment…
1. Providing effective feedback to students.
2. Students’ active involvement in their own learning.
3. Adjusting teaching to take account of the results of assessment.
4. Recognising the profound influence of assessment on students’ motivation and self-esteem - both crucial influences on learning.
5. Ensuring pupils assess themselves and understand how to improve.

Self - evaluation
• Do you have confidence that every student in your class can improve?
• How well do you:• Create a learning environment in your classroom?
• Share achievement information with students and co-construct clear learning goals with them?
• Use assessment information to feed back into teaching?
• Clarify learning outcomes with students?
• Involve students in self and peer assessment?
• Provide timely focused feedback?
• What evidence do you have for your self evaluation?
Rate yourself from: 5 – I do this consistently well, to: 0 – I don’t do this at all
