real learning
(prerequisite - 3 Day Thinking Skills Workshop - 'real
thinking')
Are we preparing children for their future or our past?
This workshop focuses on developing the participants’
ability to teach students how to learn using the "thinkInQ™"
inquiry framework as a model for designing and delivering
integrated curricula which incorporates higher level
thinking skills/ tools, information skills, technology
as a tool, multiple intelligences, learning styles and
student self-assessment. The think!nQ™ inquiry
learning framework identifies the stages of the natural
learning process through an annotated pictorial model.
As the ‘thinkbox™’ and ‘think!nQ™’
frameworks interface, learning moves from a focus on
individual opportunities to comprehensive issue-based
units of study. The model empowers students to learn
independently through a process, which mirrors real
life thinking and learning. By making the learning process
explicit to the learner, greater ownership of the learning
process can evolve. Explore the relationship between
an inquiry approach and the preparation of our learners
for their future.
Outcomes
Beginning With The Big Picture
- explore the ‘think!nQ™’ Inquiry
framework through multimedia
- examine the process through video - Capturing the
Journey
- investigate student ‘Inquiry Folders’
Looking Back to Move Forward
- revisit ‘Petite Inquiry’ as a foundation
for ‘think!nQ™’ comprehensive inquiry
- develop your ability to infuse the arts seamlessly
into each inquiry whereby students learn about the arts
in their purity but also learn through the arts
From Theory to Practice
- examine a developmental approach which moves learners
from learning through teacher developed inquiry to collaboratively
developed inquiry onto the ultimate goal of student
developed inquiry
- plan a unit of focus which meets curriculum guidelines,
integrates subject disciplines, multiple intelligences
and learning styles, higher level thinking skills and
tools, student self-assessment, information skills and
technology as a tool to enhance learning
