Professional Learning
If a teacher has no meaningful professional development within 5 years, they revert to teaching the way they were taught when they were at school
Research shows that
Your 2012 professional learning
• What?
• How?
• Changes to the way you teach?
• Twiper
• Youtube ( e.g. Tedtalks) • Educators’ blogs
Derek’s Blog
• Your own reflec,ve blog • Reading and commen,ng on others’ reflec,ve blogs • The VLN e.g. School iPad/iPod User Group
Professional learning using online environments
Discuss how you use online environments as part of your
professional learning
Teaching as Inquiry
Turning classroom experience into classroom exper,se
Workshop aims
• To develop an understanding of the ‘teaching as inquiry’ framework
• To discuss and plan a teacher inquiry into: ‘How can my students and I successfully develop our understandings and prac,ce of the ‘Thinking Competency’?
Inquiry into the ‘teaching – learning’ rela,onship is the basis of effec,ve pedagogy.
Effec,ve pedagogy requires that teachers inquire into the impact of their teaching on their students. NZC page 35
Teaching as Inquiry
Pages 34 & 35
Discuss our understandings
‘Teaching as Inquiry’ will s,mulate teachers to look closely at their prac,ce with a view to improving teaching and learning.
‘Teaching as Inquiry’ challenges teachers to
• Ar,culate their beliefs • Adopt an inquiry stance • Par,cipate in professional conversa,ons based on teaching and learning
• Ask the real ques,ons -‐ "What are the next steps for learning?" "Is there something I need to change?”
Are you up for the
?
You will
• Iden,fy the needs of your students (how?) • Collect and synthesise data • Plan your inquiry • Seek and analyse data and evidence to inform of change
• Accept feedback (colleagues & students) and act on it
• Share your findings and the outcomes
It’s about improving competence … not proving competence
Iden,fying possibili,es for strengthening or developing
Sources
• the experiences of other teachers (crav knowledge)
• researcher knowledge
Seeking
evidence of impact on student learning
Posing ques4ons about
• outcomes • alignment • engagement • success
Collec4on of high quality evidence
• student achievement data • teacher documenta,on • classroom observa,on • Student voice
3 Parts
• Discovering ‘Focusing Inquiry’ Establishing baseline and direc,on
• Designing ‘Teaching Inquiry’ The teacher uses evidence from research and from their own past prac,ce and that of colleagues to plan teaching and learning opportuni,es aimed at achieving the outcomes priori,sed in the focusing inquiry.
• Delivering ‘Learning Inquiry’ Takes place both during and aver teaching
Inquiry into the teaching–learning rela,onship can be visualised as a cyclical process that goes on moment by moment (as teaching takes place), day by day, and over the longer term. In this process, the teacher asks:
Discover: What is important (and therefore worth spending 4me on), given where my students are at? This focusing inquiry establishes
a baseline and a direc,on. The teacher uses all available informa,on to determine what their students have already learned and what they need to learn next. (NZC, p.35)
Design: What strategies (evidence-‐based) are most likely to help my students learn this? In this teaching inquiry, the teacher uses evidence from research and from their own past prac,ce and that of colleagues to plan teaching and learning opportuni,es aimed at achieving the outcomes priori,sed in the focusing inquiry.
Deliver: What happened as a result of the teaching, and what are the implica4ons for future teaching? In this learning inquiry, the teacher: • Puts ideas into prac,ce (embedded in authen,c learning experiences)
• Monitors and reflects -‐ Inves,gates the success of the teaching in terms of the priori,sed outcomes
• Uses a range of assessment approaches (short term and long term)
• Analyses and interpret the informa,on to consider what they should do next.
Evalua,ng
• Summarise -‐reflect on progress, observa,ons, current vs ini,al data. How did it go? What strategies have made a difference to my students' learning?
• Provide evidence • What will you do now? Present findings to colleagues, principal, BOT
