Teacher Inquiry

Reading - Inquiry Learning Networks and Spiral of Inquiry

Article provides a framework for teacher inquiry and gives an outline for why collaborative approach to teacher inquiry is important.

A framework for changing the experience of learners through new learning and new actions

The cycle involves six stages some of which I think have been done when we look towards our Inquiry this year. 
- scanning
- focusing
- developing a hunch 
- Engaging in new professional learning
- Taking new action
- Checking that a big enough difference has been made, and then re-engaging to consider what is next.

As I consider this towards my Inquiry into Wa Kitea I think I need to consider the first three steps as they were done last year and  into the lead up to starting play based learning - what can I measure as the need to bring in play based learning? How can I use the data that I have to show that Wa Kitea has made a difference in their learning?


I know that Susan is doing a lot of study on Play Based learning so looking forward I will need my own plan towards my new professional learning

How will I show that I have made a difference and show it by obtaining valued outcomes for learners?
