Inquiry Focus 2019

by - 17:37


"To maximise pedagogical practices (relating to integrated education), to effectively shift student achievement, supported by digital platforms connected to visible teaching and learning" 

I am particularly interested in the "process of planning" for integrated education, and how this can be made to be as effective as positive for teachers involved in integrated education, as well as enabling learning outcomes to be at the most optimal levels for student learning and achievement.

The different areas of the inquiry that I will be investigating includes:
  • understanding integrated education
  • teaching and learning outputs
  • interrelationships
  • access to teaching and learning information
  • shared knowledge and understanding of possible digital platforms that could be used to execute teaching and learning

The projects that I will be involved in throughout 2019 that will enable me to investigate various aspects of my inquiry include:

  • Experiencing Marine Reserves - in collaboration with other departments at Tāmaki College
  • CoLab High School - in collaboration with Social Sciences at Tāmaki College and James Wood High School in Winchester, Virginia
  • Tāmaki College Collaborative Inquiry Project 2019 - in collaboration with other departments at Tāmaki College and the Liggins Institute at Auckland University
I will also be delivering a session at the EdTech Summit Auckland 2019 conference this year.  I will be using my experiences within various projects that I am involved in, to guide the session that I deliver.  The session details are as follows:

Title: VTaL - Visible Teaching and Learning : Planning for Integrated Projects in a Secondary School

Session Description: Collaboratively sequencing learning, is key to planning for integrated projects in a secondary school setting.

This session will focus on the use of Workspaces by multiple Learning Areas, to undertake an integrated project with Year 9 or Year 10 students.  However, planning for integrated education is not limited to the use of Workspaces; integrated education can also be applied using a range of different digital tools such as Google docs too.  It's all in the collaborative approach to planning, and the sequencing of learning activities.
