A Model for Great Teaching

Today we focus on Dimension 3: Maximising opportunity to learn

Great teachers manage the classroom to maximise opportunity to learn

No model of teaching effectiveness could be complete without classroom management: managing the behaviour and activities of a class of students
is what teachers do.

Yet is it also controversial. Different teachers have very different styles, values and priorities.

Thank you @Mrs_Gilchrist @toddle_edu for providing an extensive and essential session on Designing for Authentic Inquiry in our Classrooms.

Motivated to learn and continue to build an inquiry based learning environment.

Aiming to build an inquiry classroom where learners co-design open and closed questions.

Inspired by Jiyoo Song’s work, while reading @trev_mackenzie ‘s Inquiry Mindset.

Excited to explore more!

Scientists of #Year5 started the year by retrieving & exploring the properties of different materials. They also conducted an investigation to suggest alternate materials for various objects!

Love this recent post by @MaryMyatt about what students are going to create, in terms of meaning, understanding and showing their knowledge as a result of the resources we provide? # Creators not consumers
