Rotorua reflections 2009
Another of the cluster milestone objectives is to use an array of thinking tools. I developed a L'n'P reflective tool that you may like to try. L - what did you Learn N -what did you kNow but now can see a purpose for using P- what do you Promise to Put into Practice when you get back to school David Heyle created some really useful thinking maps. Perhaps one of these tools may assist you to clarify your thinking and help you introduce something new from the conference to your students or your staff. I believe it would be really good if you were able to include a thinking map here with your reflections. If you need some assistance this can be one of your objectives for Jocelyn's work with you when she visits your school. Dave Robinson I had an interesting time this year with my focus mainly on values and teaching rather than web 2 tools. Julia Atkin had some thought provoking things to say about values and how they are embedded in your classroom programme. Seemed a bit like the work we did building a classroom climate 20 years ago when I trained to teach and has just been part of what I do but is seems society has now changed and we feel the need to write it down and make it a part of actual teaching. The best part of the conference ( apart from the great dinner! Yeah right!) was a breakout called Thinking without hats and keys. An amazing look at a teacher from 1949 who was well ahead of his time. He showed us how, with the use of the environment and the children's interest he could motivate and get them to achieve well beyond expectations and like many trail blazers was constantly hastled by the Department of Education for not following the curriculum. Seems good teaching has always been a part of our history and we should not lose sight of that teachable moment! Tracey Harrold Lyndia Taylor Olivia Brown Chris Quinn
