Staff Meeting - The Art of Inquiry Teaching

1. What is inquiry? - Think - Create (using play doh) - Link (how does my design connect to another)

2. No planner & no inquiry cycle can create an inquiring learner. It is up to the teacher.

Inquiry is a stance / disposition adopted by both teachers and children.

Make meaning not receiving

Building learning capacity and growing independence

Learning Talk  - Joan Dalton

Tip the thinking to... Important Conversation

If its important, then its important to have the conversation

Teachers trust leaders on the basis of watching them how they do their work and how they interact with others.

Education is a team business!

Feedback must cause thinking to occur... its the start of a conversation.

Using evidence and being specific...

I noticed... I watched... I heard... I saw... I noted... I observed..
