ICT Cluster Day 22nd May

Thanks to Coley St for sharing your journey with us, and the paths you have taken along the way. After reflecting about today, we (Neil, Tab and myself) have discussed our next steps, and where we want our school to be heading. A main concept that came through for us is the need to develop a visual representation of our inquiry model that is consistent throughout the school. This will help us and the kids to focus on inquiry and what each step is for them. The idea of putting this into a roundabout picture has been discussed, as this fits in with our curriculum model of a highway. Tab and I are going to present this concept at our next professional development in 2 weeks time. Work has already begun on developing this concept!
We would also like to work on developing some planning templates for our kids to use, and discussing the different levels of inquiry and where we want to head with this.
We are also going to work on setting aside a teacher only day to go as a whole staff to visit other schools.
