6. How are our classrooms and our learners developing?

Now that you have got amending your classroom culture underway we can begin to explore the nature of progression and how things might develop over time. Understanding progression shifts the focus, it allows you to move beyond ‘Are they doing this?’ and consider ‘How well are they doing this?’.

In this unit you will find 2 substantial sections:

You will explore progression in relation to:

  • the 4 aspects of classroom culture – relating, talking, constructing, and celebrating.
  • the 4 key learning behaviours – perseverance, questioning, collaboration, and revising.

Understanding progression

Understanding progression in relation to classroom culture provides you as a teacher with a way of understanding and tracking developments in your own classroom culture as it becomes increasingly learning-friendly.

Understanding progression in relation to learning behaviours offers students a way of seeing themselves as a learner beyond present academic performance indicators, and teachers with a framework against which to intentionally grow students’ learning behaviours.
