Well here I find myself reflecting in the government mandated time that schools are allocated to refine their professional development.
At the moment we are focussed on aligning our vision of differentiation in the learning spaces of our earstwhile young learners. Self directed learning and gathering of intellectual might to move forward in the way learners can prepare themselves for the challenges in the wider world.
The challenge is to implement and ensure effective competencies are learnt by the students so they can be adaptable, flexible and responsive to the ways information can be processed, presented, used and the myriad ways we can bring understanding to our sense of the world.
I have sorted, perused, constructed, analysed, synthesised, evaluated, comprehended, applied and contributed to my own store of knowledge, ready to be shared with peers and ultimately to be put to that firey furnace of the classroom.
With trepidation and hand on my heart I will endeavour to make greater strides and take courage that I will not f**k it up for my learners and they will leave me with greater appreciation of what they can do for themselves and how they can construct their own learning.
Oi vey.
All those hours and head scratching over two days has led me to one inescapable conclusion.
I can ride moar bike now pleez?
PS - Schools are wonderful places of academia without students in them!![]()
