How To Make Recycled Paper

 

How is my inquiry going to benfit everyone?

Every year I do an inquiry. It has an impact on my class, I innovate my teaching in response to a learning challenge identified within my own classroom.

This year though I am hearing the same challenge when I talk to other teachers not only in my school across levels but across our schools. What can we do to catch our students up after the massive amount of time they have had away from school? What can we do know that will make the biggest difference?

Surely there is no better time to pool our resources to share our practice so that we can take from each other those effective practices that are making a difference for our learners. 

We all have unique ways of making a difference in the learning of our students and can sometimes get stuck in the rut of what we already know. Instead of working in our silos, struggling with the same challenges why don't we break down those walls and take the best bits from each other and use and adapt when needed to meet the unique students' needs. 

I want my inquiry to be about shared effective practice across our school and how this can benefit all our students, not just my class. Lockdown has made evident the importance that a teacher has on the learning of a student. What if we multiply that power by combining teachers superpowers (the effective practices they have acquired through experience)?
