Description / Descripción
If it is our goal to see an increase in student levels of engagement; an increase in levels of high school retention; an improvement in student performance standards; and learners skilled and ready to contribute to their world, we need to re-think what we are doing, and how we are doing what we are doing, in schools. We need to teach our kids how to think and how to learn through a comprehensive learning process that mirrors the way in which learning occurs in the outside world. We need to ensure that intellectual rigor, depth of knowledge and understanding, authentic, relevant and purposeful curriculum, our priorities We need to change the way learning is planned, designed, implemented, assessed and evaluated.
In this session Lane will challenge your current approach to delivering curriculum and offer a refreshing, necessary and practical approach to re-thinking and re-engineering how teachers teach and how learners learn.
In this workshop session we will:
•explore what it means to teach our learners HOW to learn through an explicit process that naturally embeds inquiry as it mirrors the way learning occurs in the ‘real world’
•explore the relationship between thinking and learning and discover practical frameworks that will enable and empower learners to take control of both their thinking and their learning
•develop your ability to design truly authentic, relevant, rigorous and engaging learning opportunities that address curriculum mandates and seamlessly infuse 21C skills
• reflect upon, challenge and confirm your current practice based on new knowledge and understanding
