This unit explores how you might build the habit of Noticing in your students.
Sections 1 – 4 look at;
- Noticing and how it develops. The Noticing Chart. Unpick the meaning of Noticing, how it develops over time and use the Noticing chart to plot where your students are now.
- Taking Noticing into classroom culture. Activities for Noticing. Offers numerous suggestions to develop a Noticing friendly culture and build students’ Noticing skills.
- Blending Noticing with content. Dual Focused Lesson ideas. Suggests a series of questions and steps you might use to ensure the development of Noticing claims its place in the curriculum and is designed into lesson/activities to aid understanding.
- Team reflection and planning. Share the impact of your experiments with colleagues and plan what you need to do next.
The resource materials in the Learning Diary: Noticing help you to distil important messages, home in on the key bits of information and design learning experiments specifically for you.
You will probably need to spend about an hour on sections 1-3. Section 1 may take about 20 minutes to get your head round. Section 2 should take you about 20 minutes to browse. Section 3 needs at least 20 minutes hard thinking . Section 4 is a linked Professional Learning Team session which will have been organised to take place sometime after this on-line session, and should take about 75 minutes.
