What? Collaborative spiral of inquiry
So what?
Scanning:
- Finding out what learners think and feel about their learning, and what their families and communities perceive about their learning
Focussing
- Using your noticing from Scanning to select an area for concentrated team learning
Developing a hunch
- Getting deeply held beliefs and assumptions out on the table about your own practices
Learning
- Tailored to the situation
Taking action
- Learning more deeply about new ways of doing things – and then trying them out
Checking
- Knowing what you want to accomplish for your learners and having specific ways to determine how you are doing—early in the inquiry process
Now what?
I will try to learn more deeply about new ways of doing things and then try them out with my learners.
Hi Radha,
ReplyDeleteI really like how you have been specific as to how you are going to do each step. How would this look collaboratively with your team?
Hi Radha,
ReplyDeleteI am really excited about our collaborative Spiral of Inquiry this year. I am interested in how the team noticings are influencing your practice, if at all?
In your Now what? section you say "I will try to learn more deeply about new ways of doing things and then try them out with my learners." and I have two questions: 1. When you say 'my' learners, who are you referring to exactly?
2. When you say 'learn more deeply..." what does that mean? what steps are you enacting?
Thanks,
Di
PS: Please consider this for future posts: if you are tagging a post to a PCT or PST, pause and think, have you explained why/how it relates? If you haven't done this deliberately, with critical reflection, it may not qualify as evidence towards it. For example, I can see some of the obvious connections to PCT 4 and 12 in this post. What information could you include to help the reader make a connection to the others? Do you think we should we be tagging 6 PCTs to one post?
