KPMG Day 3 - Where are we at?

#7 Develop a set of hypotheses about patterns in your teaching that could be changed to more effectively address the student learning focus.
Picture
I spent the last few days reflecting on my journey so far and all the twists and turns it has taken - heavily influenced by the feedback from the MIT Team. I was really excited to share my progress so far and get next steps. 

This visual was for others but mainly for myself as one our mentors, Anne Sinclair, reminds me often. My brain likes to think big and I have spent this year practising refining my thinking and putting plans in place to keep myself accountable for all my different roles. 
Picture
My journey so far has been constantly refining my ideas and now I have a tool that I have created that I have been getting feedback from teachers about.

  The feedback from my day at KPMG was:  
- Where am I getting my shared language from? Is it transferable to other schools? 
- Am I going to big? Should I focus on certain areas within the reading levels and then grow it as I get a better understanding of what goes into one level? 
- How do I summarise my tool in a few words as well as explaining the whole journey? 
Picture
As a person who likes to think big picture I really do value this feedback as it supports with my thinking and it keeps me thinking about how I can funnel my thinking to ensure I am holding myself accountable for the outcome that is sharable with others. 

My Next Steps: 
- Collate all my research so far and create a blog post making links to the Curriculum Doc and other areas to make sure my tool is relatable to other teachers/schools 
- Focus on Senior School Reading Levels (Purple, Gold, 8.5-9.5 and 9.5 - 10.5) and make links to the Key Competencies as critical thinking and collaboration  what I feel differentiates my tool from others. 
- My summary is 'My tool has a shared language that allows learners to drive their own learning and promotes intentional teaching for reading strategies.'

    Although we do not know what the future holds I feel we have to attempt to understand what qualities and skills will be needed/desired to be successful adults: creative, risk takers who can self regulate and adapt to a changing environment (with confidence or resilience?).  - That's my thoughts anyways. Helping children to accept and understand what  ‘comfortable with being uncomfortable so you are prepared for anything’ means. 

    ​ This inquiry is focussed on determining which teaching practices and scaffolds accelerate a learner's journey from being highly scaffolded to intrinsically motivated to manage and direct their own learning.
