54 Students in OneSpace (no, we are NOT crazy)

Same ratio as other classrooms but allows for a lot offlexibility (grouping, prep time)

A skeleton of our year planned knowing which curriculum fitnicely-into study/inquiry

Had two studies a term 1 humanities & 1 math/science

Still had times of curriculum that didnt require a study esp.math

Use large chunks of our day for projectsnot a regimentedtimetable- had Daily Tasks (dependent on the needs of ourinquiry/studys)

Classroom management-clear expectations, constantfeedback/monitoring of progress, morning routine, flexible &constantly changing groups

Spaces created for different needs (work together, need

resources, independent practice/brainstorming, whole classteaching/discussions)

esigners of earning Teachers

Most important first step isdefine big understanding thatwill be the big hook

Building competencies

Inquiry doesnt always haveto have a BIG question, but isa rigorous, authentic study

How do you know if its agood study? Gets students inpocket while still using thelens of academic disciplines

Learning is authentic and

Students Automatic differentiation

where all students can findtheir niche

Majority of studentsmajority of the time in theflow zone no care abouttime or rushing to finish

Biggest complaint onfeedback after our projectswas they wanted to domoremore time..

TASKS & activities

Teachers

Students Task is the end performance/ task- activities are the mini

lessons and feedback loops along the way

Knowledge isnt fractured and as much as possible our

outcomes are taught as they pertain to the study or task

Some tasks are small, while others took on a life of their ownie. If Youre Not from DV

Start with an exemplar (expert, something found on internet) Make learning outcomes visible Rubrics-targets, student

created, constantly used to decide next steps/what need todo

On the spot AFL (whiteboard w/names, at a glance sheet)

Teachers

Students

TASKS &activities

Much more responsible and in-tune with own progress makesless marking for us

Able to give and take relevant feedback/ideas/ comments andmake changes

Are learning independence to know what next steps are

needed for their learning/study Less egocentric-community feel No student soars thru work-rigor for all Experts help see relevance &understand real world- Learn SO

much more than by using Google/textsthis has been very

powerful View teacher differently- see us as an advisor, facilitator of

learning, sometimes we may be expert, but most often wesearch for answers in our study together

Risk takers, totally comfortable taking chances NOT afraid

information/Google Variety of tools

(software/hardware tosupport inquiry/studies)

Allow opportunities to see

what/when technology isuseful

Students

Using technology allows allstudents to represent/communicate theirunderstanding w/out pencil

Voice memo-for thosestudents who struggle withwriting

Audacity-used with allstudents for reading fluencybenchmarks

Great for reflecting on theirlearning digital portfolios

Areas of Growth

Some areas we will focus on this year:

Checking in: What do you know? What do youneed to know now?

Continue to make sure teacherdirected/instructional time is chunks of informationthey can apply to their inquiry

Continue to ensure inquiry is authentic, engaging,rigorous
