Today we had some year 5 students and their teacher join us in class for the morning and middle block. It was a great chance for some of our students to buddy and share some of the apps that they use for learning and to be the 'teachers'.
It was also a great opportunity for me to share some of the teaching and processes that we have been using in our learning programme. Talking about the steps that we have taken and the reasons behind how and why we teach and learn the way we do was a good chance for me to be reflective. Sharing what has and hasn't worked for us and the importance of using what best works for the students was a great chance to be reflective without actually realising I was.
I love having the chance to share our process and journey and what is even more exciting is the fact that more and more are moving along the digital and collaborative journey. The fact that we have had so much PL and now a lot of experience in these areas is something that I would like to continue to share with other teachers in our area. How great would it have been to have others in our area that could have supported our journey. Not having that just makes me want to share and support more people.
Having 52 in the class, it was pleasing to hear their teacher commend our learners on how engaged and involved in their learning they were. This also got me thinking about the progress that our students' have made in their 'developing independence' journey.
