There were positives and negatives to online learning. But what is certain, is that we now have the opportunity to hit the reset button. Reflect on what worked or didn't work in Term 1 and once again adjust to make it better.
My commitment to the way forward is:
Working more collaboratively with my Class Colleague and team. Developing workshops that cater for the whole class, not just a group of students. Teach to the gaps in their learning. Trust students more to choose what they want to do and in which order. Allow room for creativity. Giving students more choice about the way they want to present their work. E.g.
What I am dropping:
Working in silo's, expecting a specific outcome, trying to control when they do the work and of course, getting rid of boring.
It's great that you are looking at ways to provide agency within your class. I'd be interested to know how you intend to develop a workshop system within your classroom.
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome reading how educators are processing the challenges and opportunities presented by lockdown. I love the idea of students deciding how they will show their learning. This page might be helpful in extending students' creative choices and digital skills if you notice them developing a 'default' way of showing their learning. Can't wait to see what you all come up with!
