Drafted August 2021– Reviewing progress in Playing the Deeper Learning Power Game.

Welcome to the final session of ‘Playing the Deeper Learning Power Game’

This session is a little different. It is designed to help you review your progress in developing a learning culture in your classrooms and the impact it has had on your students’ learning dispositions. Here you will reflect on how you have changed your learning culture, and how your learners have grown in confidence and competence as learners.

Work through sections 1 – 5 where you will:

1. Learn more about the learning friendly classroom. Consider the shift from teacher-centred to learning-centred classrooms, and how these changes impact on student learning dispositions. This section answers the questions: “What is the Big Picture’ of making progress with Learning Power?” and encourages you to reflect on your changing practice to address the question “How far have I come?”
2. 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?”
3. Reflect on how the Deeper Game has enabled students to become more skilful learners. Consider the extent to which students have progressed through the lens of the progression charts. This section answers the question “Are my students becoming increasingly skilful learners?”
4. 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?”
5. What’s next? – is a reminder that you have thus far only scratched the surface of the 12 Deeper Game modules. Revisit them, seek out higher order teaching behaviours that will further up-skill student learning behaviours, or expand your repertoire by tackling modules you have yet to address.
