Collaborative Sense Making


COLLABORATIVE SENSE MAKING

  • What is our data telling us/what insights does it provide?
  • Is this good enough?
  • How do we feel about what we have found?
  • Do we have different interpretations of the data? If so, why?
  • What might we need to explore further?
  • What can we learn from research evidence about what ‘good’ looks like? How close are we to that?

Investigating and researching best practices to help us teach students to become comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Hamish and I collaborated to plan a ‘Learning to Learn’ unit

So what will this look like for our students in our two classes?

Turning passive learners into active learners by
  • Sharing assessment results and data explicitly with students
  • Goal-setting
  • Learning in a collaborative, co-constructed way where the relationship is learning-focussed
  • Providing opportunity to provide feedback to each other about how the learning is going
  • Having clarity in their learning - knowing where they are in their learning:

  1. What am I learning?
  2. Why am I learning it?
  3. How will I learn it (process)
  4. How will I know when I have learnt it?
