I think for this to work at ISPS we need to collaboratively support the new learning with staff as well as students. Teachers need to support each other through a repertoire of teaching strategies and encourage their ability to from partnerships with students in discovering and mastering content knowledge.
Our goal is to enables students to discover, create and use knowledge in the real world faster, with authentic audiences. This will enable the deep learning goals of creating and using new knowledge in the world.
How we assess and measure learning will be an ongoing discussion as we find new ways to measure deep learning outcomes.
Thanks for your post Brooke. I completely agree with your comment about assessment and measurement of learning. As we move towards new curriculum and new pedagogies, teachers will need to support each other in a collaborative way that will really alter our assessment practices. With 21st century learning skills, we will be assessing different skill sets using different tools to what we are used to. With technology as the support, how do you feel we can create deep learning? What do you see as the next steps for us as educators to discover, create and use knowledge?
ReplyDeleteI see deep learning as learning that is engaging and useful, learning that make students want to investigate more and reflect on their learning (using magnificent 8).
ReplyDeleteI think our school is on the right track, supporting and trialing new technology for real purpose, not just to tick a box.
