Spirals of Inquiry - how can we learn more about what to do?

A Framework for Transforming Learning in Schools: Innovation & the Spiral of Inquiry

Developing collective professional agency: collaborative inquiry matters

Grounded in learning science knowledge

The involvement of learners & whānau & communities - underpinning and permeating each of the phases

Consultation versus Partnership

A shift from learner voice to learner agency

“Letting” versus Letting go

In Groups http://bit.ly/1JOTLHi

Read your allocated section of the paper and report back to whole room about that phase…

1. what’s new?2. what’s interesting?3. what is a question you have?

Emotion - belonging, knowing, talanoa, self-esteem

Biology - behavioural, physical

Part 3: Developing Hunches

100 ideas NOW!This is a Design Thinking tool - you can use it with kids and adults for all kinds of things that need new, fresh ideas - it is an ideation process and it works if the people doing it are ready to go crazy with exciting NEW and innovative ideas!

Try this…100 ways to Scan in 7 Mins!1. Consider the Scanning phase of the Spirals of Inquiry2. Think on your own for 2 mins...what are some new and innovative ideas you

have for Scanning your learners that match up with Spirals and the 7 Principles? Write your ideas on PostIt Notes

3. Get the Timer ready - set it for 7 minutes4. Everyone in the group (about 10 people) stand up around the table (you must

stand for this!)5. Call out your idea and put your PostIt Notes on the sheet (others need to hear

your idea in case they get another idea from it)6. After 7 mins look at what you’ve produced - new ideas?

Narrowing down our ideas - top 10

1. vote for your personal top 5 ideas that grabbed your attention or excited/intrigued you

2. Record your group’s top 10

3. Score each idea out of 10 for “new” “useful” “feasible”

- how new is the idea for our cluster or in the world?

- how useful is the idea for solving the problem?- how feasible is it for us to pull this idea off?

4. Pick the winners to progress to next stage!

Learner MapsLearner maps are a great way to scan with your learners to find out more about what helps them to learn and what they know about that. Try this exercise in small groups of three:

1. Take some felts and some paper 2. One person talks and draws and the other two people ask them the following

questions: How do I like to learn?What do I like to learn?Where do I like learning?Where do I find information to learn?Name two people who champion you as a learner? What are the tools that help my learning (technology, online etc)What are the interactions that support my learning? (use different types of arrows to show these interactions)

3. Talk about how you might do this with very young children versus older children4. Create some Growth Mindset/Inquiry questions that you could use when mapping

with learners.
