Coley Street Inquiry Journey

What an interesting morning. We found out about the Coley Street journey...

Implications and thoughts that arise:
  • Develop, review and adapt our Inquiry Model.
  • Discuss and develop stages within the process of Inquiry
  • Exemplars need to be developed for the stages and process
  • Inquiry Rubrics
  • Oral language assessment
  • Frameworks for tasks: telephone interview, web search, outside visit, wonderings...
  • Graphic organisers
  • Thinking Tool Box: Six Hats, Fogherty's Intellectual Storeys
  • Directed, Guided and Pure inquiry for different years/ individuals...
  • Language of inquiry...
  • Pupil Ownership of Learning
  • Sharing and celebrating of work
  • Opportunities for teachers to plan and work together
  • Encourage Buddy Classes
  • Action from inquiry?
A lot to think over...
