Spiral of inquiry

Our habitat hunch for our spiral of inquiry is:
We wonder if we respond collectively to learner voice and then collaboratively design and teach to include the learners’ ideas in planning prior to a new experience will create an atmosphere where learners have greater autonomy and agency over their iExperience learning?
Our goal is:
To leverage educator collaboration to provide more Utopic iExperiences for our learners.
Our approach would be:
  1. Collect learner voice the week before and then plan for iExperience.
  2. Educators collaborating to create the experiences for the learners.
  3. The learners must explain to the LCs how any new curiosities relate to the iExperience topic/pitch. If it relates then they can exert agency over the pathway they take.
Steps we would take to achieve this:  

  • Learners having input on the Wednesday prior to the next week’s  design of  iExperiences
  • LCs to get together to construct design to include learner voice from Wednesday feedback.  This will include LCs collaborative designing together during our LH1 meeting post LH3 combined meeting. NB: this will not happen every  week but only when a new design is required. As part of the design we will be cognisant of including open ended big question to introduce and spark curiosity.(as per our previous probe and experiemnt)
  • Decide on which of the 6  co-teaching strategies to be used by LCs
  • During the experience learners will be required to pitch where their curiosities are taking them and how they are linked to the original provocation.
  • LCs will take the approach of using questioning techniques with the learners often specific to the co-teaching strategy we are following to encourage  learners to take agency over their growing curiosities and learning process from the initial spark .
