This document discusses plans to build a connected learning community between primary and secondary schools. The project aims to connect students through inquiry-based learning facilitated by technology and supported by mentors. Students in years 6 and 7 will inquire into their future, guided by mentors in year 12. The project hopes to improve collaboration, make learning more authentic, and better prepare students for 21st century skills through a cross-phase learning model supported by technology and mentoring.

- In primary schools in ESF – all becoming PYP schools. Decision was taken for exactly same reasons this group was put together (21st Century needs/authentic)PYP made up of 5 essential elementsThese combine hopefully to form lifelong learners
- Still something missingOpportunities not taken for various reasons e.g. age restriction/cyber safetyLooking at creating a safe environment to allow primary to exploreConnect with secondary
- Well established that there is a gap in learning and styles of learning between primary and secondaryAlso, between diploma and PYPAwareness in secondary that students coming to us learn differentlyWant to investigate and close gap
- find a mechanism to meet the demands of the 21st Century and a future that is undetermined for our learners.
- It’s a pedagogy that is designed to fulfill 21st Century needsThese are some of the things we think inquiry will help us to achieveHere are some of themCross reference explanation of PYP – essential elements etc.
- Finish with something about the planningWe realised that we could plan something that would meet our requirements
- Emphasise that this is the project as it will be right now.Cross phase project to involved P6 and Year 7 students.The inquiry will focus on an aspect of their future.Learning mentors will be selected and trained to foster peer support.Learning technologies investigated and used to facilitate learning and communication.
- Resistance to change- in different levels and areas of the schoolPerception that this was just another Initiative.Schools dominated by content driven curriculum?External demands – Exams/University on all stakeholders. CulturalUnderstanding Inquiry based learning.
