Okay, so today we covered several topics. Most of the time splitting into groups and discussing these subjects amongst ourselves. The first being Effective Pedagogy (which I found out means the study of children). From there each group was given a separate topic that stemmed of that main one. We then had to create a picture/drawing/motto/whatever to help us remember it (thats really a guess). Ours was "Teaching as Inquiry."
So basically what this is, is the teacher constantly inquiring into proven strategies to help with her teaching and changing them if need be. Also when a student has competed a certain thing, the teacher should inquire and/or gather information from reliable sources on what her child's next learning step should be.
Our team basically created a simple flowchart with simple drawings to explain this.
The other groups completed topics such as, creating a supportive learning environment, encouraging reflective thought and action, making connections to prior knowledge etc.
Anyways, I'm so exhausted so thats all I'm not bothered writing.
so yeh, cya:)
