Teacher Only Day - The WHAT

Our last session was an idea generation one. 'Given what you have seen in schools, read in your readings, been in discussions about, and what you may have been trialling...what could these areas look like next year?'

We had areas like Learner Agency, e-Learning, Assessment Capable Children, Workshops, Timetabling, and Learning Environments.

For each area we shared some videos or images, then opened the discussion up for teachers to add more ideas, then we headed into our potential 2015 teams. The team had a chance to discuss, then start to draft 'the dream'...what would be the ultimate in Learner Agency??? Once that was fleshed out a little, the team then decided on some potential starting points for next year.

An example of this is the NE/Year 1 team. Their 'dream' in e-Learning is for children to be able to share their learning via the blog. Their starting point is for the teachers to carry on blogging, modelling to the children and to start to scaffold the children into being able to do it themselves,

We met the aim of generating ideas...lots shown, and lots shared. These were all captured in Google Docs so we can return to them.
