Deep Learning Community of Practice revisiting and moving

Deep Learning Community of Practice …. revisiting and moving forward

Global happenings • Michael Fullan book with VIC case studies • Review of Suite of Tools (see handouts) • Global conference: 16 -18 April @ Vancouver, Canada • Leadables • Moderation

Where did we get to? A challenge worth solving STEM How can we get industry to partner being involved with our STEM program? How to integrate the 6 cs into the Victorian Curriculum. How to assess the capabilities. How do we use these measures to inform progress? Data How do we successfully marry and measure Big data with small data for increased 'buy in'? How can we best foster and utilise student agency to scaffold real engagement in authentic learning? Capabilities How are we assessing the capabilites How do we collect data on personal and social engagement? How do we build teacher capcity to embed deeper learning and student agency through a clear and consistent pedagogical model? How can qualitative individual data be perceived as valuable as other more quantifiable forms of data? How do we effectively teach, measure and assess critical and creative thinking? How do you measure the capabilities from innovation/diversity/creativity- When do we measure? Student Agency Deep Learning What does deep teaching and learning look like for personal and social learning? How can we ensure that every student is given opportunities to engage n authentic/ real world learning? -to see connection and relevance -Articulate what and why? How can we ensure authentic connection to student learning? How do we develop/provide the conditions for student voice and agency in authentic contexts with students with additional needs How do we measure when we have been successful How do we demonstrate/highlight the equal importance of these with literacy and numeracy? How do we embed student advocacy, voice and leadership consistently in teaching and learning to enhance cognitive engagement? (including teachers as co-learners) How can we utilise student voice to interpret data to inform changes in the classroom and improve student engagement? How do we qualify and quantify creative and critical thinking?

Where did we get to? School foci Student Voice and Agency Increase student voice and agency Realistically embracing student voice and agency Student voice, leadership, agency in learning Quality feedback - (student voice driving learning design) Greater student voice/centre (FISO) Deep Learning Capitalising on the intellectual capital of the student learning to achieve depth Making true a real connection to the world Deep authentic connected learning driving growth for all students Quality feedback - (student voice driving learning design) STEM- critical and creative thinking STEM including engagement through maker culture Learning and Teaching Build teacher capacity relate to High Impact Teaching Strategies Collaborative practice FISO aligning NPDL to FISO Professional Learning Teams to improve student outcomes, Focus on the HITS. Growth Mindset Developing a growth mindset Capacity building - leadership of staff and students including feedback for improvement commitment to excellence Consistency of practice across school in instructional and assessment approaches and reduce in school variability Consistency of pedagogical approaches across school Curriculum design, teachers planning and creating High quality teaching and learning (FISO) guided by NPDL. Capabilities Building critical thinking processes into all curriculum areas How far can we go allowing NPDL to influence the way we teach and learn? Effective use of data to inform teaching and learning Consistency - Instructional Model

Where did we get to? Big ticket items • • STEM/Humanities- inquiry buy in/links to industry Student Agency (leadership) and Engagement (incl cognitive) Consistency of practice? (Pedagogical Model? ) Authentic Learning Developing Sustainable Goals- Actions Independent Learning (continuum? ) Capacity Building • Teachers as Researchers • Teacher engagement • General Capabilities • Entrepreneurship • New measures- development of capability measures

Re-setting the Focus for Improvement Step 1: Confirm your focus Which area of deep learning do we want to deliberately improve through our Co. P? ______________________________________ Why have we chosen this are? Provide justification. ____________________________________________________________________________ Step 2: Identify evidence, resources for this are that could support your school and Co. P to engage in precise improvement work. Student Data Teaching Tools Assessment Tools How can we make student data more accessible and usable? What relevant research and practical teaching resources can we make available? What high quality formative assessment approaches and tools can be made available? ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________

What do I need to do next year to succeed? At my school In my Community of Practice What I want to achieve:

Finding your tribe…

Creating your journey map

What will your journey look like? • Your school • Your Co. P

How will we measure success as a Co. P?
