- What is "Teaching as Inquiry"
To achieve improved outcomes for all students. It is an organising framework to help teachers learn from their practice and build greater knowledge. - Collaborative Move away from "doing because we have to (appraisal)" or focusing on my own students to an approach that is more team based where the children in the team belong to all of us and involves regular discussions in the team based on evidence.
- Key points and discussion from the readings:
- Building expertise in teachers through a collaborative approach which reduces variability between teachers.
- Collaboration is not co-operation.
- Using formative assessment evidence to inform instructional practice instead of standardised scores.
- Bringing students into the 'team' and involving them into the collaborative inquiry (eg class meetings with core teachers).
- Factors that make an effective collaborative inquiry.
- Collegial trust by leaders-teachers as well as amongst teachers too.
- listening, questioning
- What is Collaboraton?
- All contributed so there is ownership of the outcome.
- Everyone views things through a different lens and is rich & healthy which is better than 'group think'.
- shared values. generating ideas. vital for creative & innovative work.
- Effective collaboration team:
