The Education Hub - Teaching as Inquiry

Outcomes are not just a factor from teaching 
 ‘Proven’ approaches works if you have the same students every year 

Look at MCDonald ‘making sense of an uncertain craft  - widely uncertain triangle  - look at snap chat - teachers feel different on different days 

Its not given its not determined, adapting yourself as a teacher to your students 

• An approach to practise - look at how children learn 


• Inquiry learning is very different that is something that is planned for children to do 

Collaborative teams working around a common idea 



PAKURANGA TEACHING AS INQUIRY 

It is a professional learning journey that encourages teachers to challenge their learning and adapt their practise 

• Priority to the inclusion of student voice 

We can be blinkered by our past experiences and our beliefs 

Which students are being advantaged and disadvantaged in my lessons 

Spiral of inquiry
Student interview - what makes an effective teacher?
‘Knowing they have confidence in me.’ 
‘Not doing the same boring thing’ 
‘Treat everyone the same’ 
‘Teachers care about me and it gives me a confidence boost’ 
‘We are teaching them and they are teaching us'

Vivian Robinson  - Dealing with problem solving in schools 
- Vivian talks about dealing with problems in schools and leaders going from 'problem' to 'solution' straight away without even thinking about the analysis of the problem. E.g the inquiry process into what caused the problem, who does the problem have an impact on. 
Karl Popper - All life is problem solving 

Adaptive expertise - it could be inquiring into a strategy or it could be into a mindset 

‘Touchstone’ - did it lead to me sharing something new that leads to something better?
