Welcome to the final session of
Nutshells Phase 2
This session is a little different. It is designed to help you review your progress in developing a learning culture in your classrooms. Here you will reflect on how you have changed your learning culture, how your learners have grown in confidence as learners and ready you to engage with the deeper development in Nutshells Phase 2.
Work through sections 1 – 5 where you will:
- Reflect on your changing practice. Look at what you have done, how your classroom culture has changed, and the extent to which student learning behaviours have developed. This section answers the question “How far have I come?”
- Give students a voice. Find out how your students have benefited. This section answers the question “To what extent have students discerned a culture shift in classrooms”.
- Learn with and from colleagues Learn from learning walks and observations. This section answers the question “How have learning cultures been interpreted differently in classrooms?”
- Reflect on students’ changing learning behaviours. Consider how your students have changed as learners. This section answers the question “How have the changes in classroom culture impacted on student learning behaviours?”
- Team session: Learning together. Put your heads together and think “what next?” This team session answers the questions “How are we doing, how are our students doing and where do we need to go next?”
Within the sections of this session we have offered at least six ways in which you might reflect on your changing practice and collect evidence to support or question your views. We don’t expect you to use all of these tools – time would prohibit this. However, we suggest you look at all the ideas and consult with other members of your team before deciding which tools to select. Using the Learning Amble in Section 3 will certainly involve a whole team or school decision.
