The document discusses potential new learning structures to make the school more flexible and support 21st century skills. It proposes: 1. Project based learning for Year 9, with 2 periods allocated fortnightly for collaborative, interdisciplinary projects. Volunteer teachers would develop projects integrating different subject areas. 2. Integrated sport, where sport time could be used for other learning. Staff would provide feedback on these ideas on August 12th and September 2nd, with a majority vote to follow. The goal is to experiment with new ways of teaching and learning while maintaining flexibility for students, teachers, and curriculum.

1. The future is not a place we are going. It is a place we
are making.
The paths to the future are made, not found.
And the process of making them changes both us and
our final destination.

2. Curriculum team
Update
We want your feedback and Consultation
we view this as a once in a lifetime opportunity to experiment
to do things differently, ideas are the guinea pig!

3. Curriculum Team options
for Consultation with Staff
As a result of the ideas that were coming
through from the brainstorming with staff
around the big picture & Long term
visions of what we want learning to look
like, we have a plan
Step 1: What can we realistically achieve
and consult on for 2014

4. Two themes are coming through in
all consultations with staff,
students and parents
Flexibility in structure is what was
identified.
Structures to support flexibility, team
teaching, PBL, new technologies,
toward 21st century skills, the beginning
of the bigger picture.

Time Line for staff Consult

9. Project Based Learning

10. No 1. Project based learning to help move
toward our student aims
How? year 9, 2 periods to support the
curriculum through product based
learning, innovative teaching ideas,
strategies, team teaching the list. etc
No impact on school structure, just
willing participants ( year 9 teachers)
We will need willing participants

11. Ideas and structures
Periods to support this; (FOL, and
scripture to be negotiated). 2 periods
fortnight to support, embed, authentically
build PBL.
2 lines of Year 9. 4 +Classes each side of
the TT. Will not take from curriculum but
deepen.
Volunteer teachers(preferably teach year
9)

12. how do we see it?

13. Needed to develop specification of
structure and protocol, but not the detail
of the project, this will be with the team
Follow on with year 8 skills, teams and
Stage 4 collaboration.
Professional learning Term 4, year 8
as creators in the programming for year
9 2014

14. Staff need to understand the impacts..
desire to keep flexible
tutorial style, to individual learning to
open group learning
Spaces... could be places where 12o
students, 4 teachers in the MPC or
some larger space, could be personalised
individual learning alfresco (blank
canvas)

15. structure supports..
Volunteers
Committed to developing 21st student skills
Commitment to PL
Integrated into each curriculum area, programs projects are built
before the stage of the classroom
Toward deeper authentic learning
Team teaching focus within KLA and across KLAS
Committed Volunteers

16. 2 periods in addition, allocated to support a
KLA, which may rotate, it works in with the
other work, it is not an add on, its a deeper
learning of what may be happening in the other
classes
Focus on project, collaboration etc. Again this
needs to be nutted out.
StrucProjects-Tutorials/ seminars/ brain
buzzes ???
How will it look?

17. Structure, 2 periods, could be 4 if teacher takes
2 groups may look like: Projects-Tutorials/
seminars/ brain buzzes/ whatever ???
Allocations: could balance with sport.. TT
will need to outline the way it works on the
TT.
Set around a strict set of educational
protocols.
Curriculum of every year 9 would have, we
may call it “opportunity learning” as support
of their learning.

19. Integrated Sport outline
