3. A change in creativity, critical thinking, and a
fundamental shift in relationships… as students
develop their capacity to question, discover,
connect, collaborate and contribute... and where
they are empowered by an increase in direction
and management of their own learning”

to create new knowledge but also to
connect it to the world”.

29. Reconstruction (Grade 7)
“It was the best of times, it was the
worst of times, it was the age of
wisdom, it was the age of
foolishness…. it was the season of
light, it was the season of darkness, it
was the spring of hope, it was the
winter of despair”

50. Individual contribution & Small Group
(RC Connect the dots & Pen, Pause, Pass, Play)
Students work in groups to share what they know
about the 6 Cs
Individual
Each student shared their individual response to the
provocation
Whole Class
On responding, students now access the
collective thinking of the class. This first layer of
feedback either challenges or validates and
extends thinking
Paired 2:1
(RC Feedback Pairs): Students work in pairs to offer
feedback / feed-forward. They extend, challenge and
counter-claim using evidence and Tier 2/3 vocabulary
to support their reasoning.
Focus Groups
RC Speaker’s Corner
Students are placed in like-minded groups based on
the claims they made. They work together to examine
the claims and arguments presented by the other
group in order to inform debate. On presenting the
reasoning to the class, students are invited to change
groups based on how persuasive the case presented
was. On moving, each student has to share the aha
moment that made them change their mind.
Extended abstract. Enduring understanding

Michael goes further to say that to do that we need to make learning irresistible
But I don’t think that goes far enough. Irresistible doesn’t speak of the change in relationships, the shift in ownership of learning that’s required.

meets the students on their terms, it values their questions, their ideas, their challenges…the things that matter to them and help them to connect with the world
All of our students are wonder-full. It is part of who they are but Kath Murdoch tells us that schools are not great places for wonder.
Curiosity has no lid – opens a door to the unknown. It’s inherently about the things that matter….. Curiosity is part of what makes us human
its the reason to engage
Inspiration is, the activator, the stimulus. The element that makes the student want to take risks,(lego) share their idea, collect multiple ideas and then use their curiosity to form relationships between ideas.. BUT it also motivates students to want to apply what they have learnt to new real world contexts…taking learning from the point of “I get it to I own it –
Using last years planner is the enemy of innovation- as a business we would be dead
Instead of learning being a journey we focus on the final destination
We give kids answers rather than questions when the currency of the classroom should be Qs

A provocation from Tony Ng designed to get children to ask big questions as part of an inquiry into food. Imagine the Qs this info graphic might generate
Great thing is that once they submit their own they get to see and respond to each others
Another te4acher chose to add another so that kids could start to look at the distribution of the problem and issues such as equity. – Again, imagine the questions
