Evan's Creating a LH1 Treaty Narrative Learning Story-11.03.15

Learner: Evan Huang       Learning Coach:Margaret Patrick            Date:11.3.15

Learning Area:Social Sciences-Place and Environment

Learning Observed

The learners and LCs in LH 1 thought that if we had a treaty it would help everyone manage the way we interacted with others in our beautiful new learning habitat. One of the key values at OrmPS is showing respect. The learners explored the meaning of  “respect” in three  different ways. Respect for ourselves Respect for others Respect for our environment. Everyone agreed on the final selection of criteria and these were printed out and displayed on the wall of LH1. Evan  is signing LH1’s treaty.He knows that he is making a promise to the other learners that he will try to make sure he is worthy of being a member of LH1 and that he can can show respect to others and manage himself in a way that makes him feel proud. This includes what happens at iBreak times. Evan often laughs at  inappropriate times and this upsets others.He is learning to control his limbs but at times he can push past others and knock into people and not  realise. He often needs to be told what he has done and prompting to stop and apologise. It can take him a long time to be honest and own up when he has done something or hurt another learner.  He is learning not to interrupt people when they are talking and that he needs to wait his turn to talk and not invade others personal space.. This treaty will be a reminder of his commitment to acting responsibly and making sure he respects others personal space.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Evan is making a commitment to this treaty by signing it. He is wanting to increase his  skills in  Managing Self, Relating to Others and building connections with his other learners and LC’s.

Next Learning Steps

Respond to prompt when inappropriate laughter starts. Stop blaming others when he makes wrong choices. Use weighted bags to give sensory feedback and help him sit still. Accept responsibility for his behaviour and know how it impacts on others. Work fortnightly with OT on Thursdays to improve balance.
